Protected areas, such as nature reserves, national parks and marine
conservation areas, are the main tool of nature conservation
policies and are increasing on a worldwide scale. They are one of
the main forms of environmental planning, and conservation
institutions have increasing means at their disposal. At the same
time, the goals of protected areas have become more diverse, with
the involvement of more stakeholders and complex institutional
frameworks. Giving an account of the extension and diversification
of protected areas, this book determines whether these two
processes constitute a breakdown in conservation policies.
Economists, ecologists, lawyers, anthropologists and geographers
analyse the various trends which are fundamental to the future of
protected areas to reveal a conflicting scene where narrative
around cooperation and integration hides competition between
different interests. This book shows how protected areas are
emerging as zones of divergent experimentations of sustainable
development rather than lasting forms of integrative environmental
management.
