Short summary
Our study tested the impact of two videos about geological sites in southeast Arabia: one focusing solely on science, and another connecting these sites to the local culture. Both videos led to positive effects, but the one with cultural connections led to a more sustained interest and stronger attitudes toward protection, especially among non-specialists. This result suggests that human stories makes science communication on geology more effective and engaging for the public.
