** This title was originally published in 2007. The version
published in 2012 is a PB reprint of the original HB** The
protection of natural resources and biodiversity through protected
areas is increasingly based on ecological principles.
Simultaneously the concept of ecosystem-based management has become
broadly accepted and implemented over the last two decades.
However, this period has also seen unprecedented rapid global
social and ecological change, which has weakened many protection
efforts.These changes have created an awareness of opportunities
for innovative approaches to managing protected areas and of the
need to integrate social and economic concerns with ecological
elements in protected areas and parks management. A rare collection
of articles that fuses academic theory, critique of practice and
practical knowledge, Transforming Parks and Protected Areas
analyzes and critiques these theories, practices, and philosophies,
looking in-detail at the emerging issues in the design and
operation of parks and protected areas. Addressing critical
dynamics and current practices in parks and protected areas
management, the excellent volume goes well beyond simple managerial
solutions and descriptions of standard practice. With contributions
from leading academics and practitioners, this book will be of
value to all those working within ecology, natural resources,
conservation and parks management as well as students and academics
across the environmental sciences and land use management.
