⑴ Background——In the new era of the continuous promotion of"double carbon"goal,tourists'environ-mental responsibility behaviors are of great practical significance to the sustainable development of forest parks. ⑵ Methods——The research data came from a questionnaire survey conducted on the online research plat-form"Credamo"in December 2022.A total of 314 valid questionnaires were obtained in this survey,with an effective rate of 89.71%. ⑶ Results——First,the extensibility of forest parks had a significant positive impact on the tourists'eu-daimonic well-being(β=0.393,p<0.001)and their environmental responsibility behaviors(β=0.203,p<0.05),this indicated that the forest tourists'true sense of self was awakened through the good perception caused by the extensibility of forest parks,and then the eudaimonic well-being and positive environmental responsibility behaviors were generated.The compatibility of forest parks positively affected the tourists'eudaimonic well-being(β=0.174,p<0.05)and their environmental responsibility behaviors(β=0.147,p<0.05),this indicated that the consciousness of harmonious coexistence between human and nature led to the emotional sublimation of the forest tourists,and the environmental adaptation form included in the compatibility of forest parks promoted the environmental responsibility behaviors of the forest tourists.Second,the eudaimonic well-being of the forest tourists positively affected their environmental responsibility behaviors(β=0.254,p<0.01),which could be explained by social exchange theory.When the forest tourists gained the eudaimonic well-being through their tourism experience,in return,they would have spontaneous environmental responsibility behaviors and con-structed a positive tourism ecological closed loop.Third,the eudaimonic well-being of the forest tourists had a partial mediating effect between restorative perception and environmental responsibility behaviors.The eudaimon-ic well-being was embodied in the forest tourists'acquisition of deeper meaning such as self-actualization and in-ner improvement.The protection and construction of forest parks could be promoted by adapting to the forest tourists'longing for the original ecological environment and stimulating their eudaimonic well-being. ⑷ Conclusions and Discussions——The extensibility and compatibility of restorative perception in forest parks can play the mediating role of the eudaimonic well-being to the greatest extent,and then promote environ-mental responsibility behaviors smoothly.Therefore,the following policy recommendations are proposed.First,attach importance to the restorative perception of forest parks,develop tourism projects that conform to the law of forest tourism market and can trigger restorative perception,and retain the authenticity of forest landscape.At the same time,improve the ecological carbon sequestration capacity and carbon sinks compensation capacity of forest parks.Second,improve the eudaimonic well-being of forest tourists,enhance the educational environ-mental warnings.Let forest tourists get natural healing and emotional recovery from the forest environment.Meanwhile,improve the service ecology and service quality of forest tourism.Third,deepen the supply-side re-form of forest tourism and take the road of low-carbon development with the"combination of emotion and rea-son".Grasp the development goal of low-carbon tourism,and integrate low-carbon concepts into all aspects of ecological transformation.At the same time,build a complete green industrial chain to realize the coordinated development of forest tourism activities and ecological enabling.
