Front Cover

1 Review
Earthscan, 2004 - Travel - 278 pages
Parks face intense pressure from both environmental and developmental perspectives to conserve biodiversity and provide economic opportunities for rural communities. These imperatives are often in conflict while potential solutions may be subject to theoretical and practical disagreement and complicated by pressing economic political and cultural considerations. Parks in Transition collects the work of the most distinguished scholars and practitioners in this field drawing on insight from over 50 case studies and synthesizing them into lessons to guide park management in transitional economies.
