Gouvernance et gestion des aires protégées

Protected areas are inspirational and transformative destinations for millions of people worldwide every year; effectively managed protected areas also help conserve biodiversity and wild nature, sustain ecosystem services, aned provide natural solutions to climate change. Thus, the governance and management of protected areas need to be effective, as the people with protected area management responsibilities have a stewardship responsibility in caring for lands and seas on behalf of future generations, as well as a guardian role. The very purpose of this compendium textbook is to provide highly accessible and relevant information to underpin such competent, effective and professional management decisions for protected areas.
