National Parks (NPs) are mainly designed to protect the remaining
"wilderness" of a given country and have primarily focused on the
conservation of extraordinary areas or emblematic species. National
parks have many roles among which "preserving nature" has become a
matter of considerable social, political, economical and scientific
concern. One of the major problems concerning National Parks is how
to preserve their landscapes and biodiversity. While the diversity
of plants and animals can be experimentally assessed, their
protection involves the maintenance of their ecosystems and
periodic monitoring. Any change in an environment can certainly
have some effect on the plants and animals living there and so, the
consequences of changes at a variety of scales is hard to predict
although variations often lead to a reduction or homogenisation of
animal and plant diversity. In the long run, the positive role
played by National Parks for nature conservation and tourism will
be maintained if we ensure that social, economic and environmental
goals are closely aligned. This new important book gathers the
latest research in this field.
