This book examines the development needs of protected areas with
threatened ecological biodiversity to gain deeper understanding of
the local perspective of protected area ecosystems. The study
focuses on the case of Nech Sar National Park in Ethiopia, a
protected area facing many development challenges due to human
over-utilization of its resources and threats to wildlife. The
conceptual framework developed by this research makes an academic
contribution in the protection and sustainable development of
national parks' natural capital, since it is designed to provide a
systemic analysis of the problem by showing the extent and
magnitude of human induced impacts on the natural capital of
protected areas. In line with this, the application of the
framework produces new and evidence-based findings which will help
to improve the governance of protected areas as the research will
provide park authorities with a practical tool in addressing the
underlying causes of the degradation of national parks before the
state of degradation of these resources reach its irreversible
juncture. The book will help academicians and researchers to assess
the state of biodiversity resources in protected areas using Nech
Sar National Park as a representative example of a threatened area
common throughout Africa, and will enable development practitioners
and policy makers to devise appropriate strategies such as
community participation in the governance of protected areas that
could help to halt the degradation of resources in protected areas.
