| Summary: | "This book is about the governance and management of protected areas. It presents a compendium of original text, case studies and examples from across the world, by drawing on the literature, and on the knowledge and experience of those involved in protected areas. The book can be used as a reference text by protected area practitioners (including local communities) and professionals; in student teaching; for informing policy makers; and for wider public education. It is intended as an investment in the skills and competencies of people and consequently, the effective governance and management of protected areas for which they are responsible, now and into the future. The book synthesises current knowledge and cuttingedge thinking from the diverse branches of practice and learning relevant to protected area governance and management. Each of the book's 27 subject chapters explores a specific component of protected area governance and management, from the pragmatism of managing operations to the subtleties and nuances around the role of protected areas in poverty alleviation and social justice. Although each chapter is presented as a stand-alone resource, every component of managing and governing a protected area affects others - as with ecosystems that protected areas aim to conserve, everything is connected."--Box 1.1 A note from the editors.
