Description

National parks and protected areas offer a wealth of ecological and social contributions or services to humans and life on earth.

This book describes the strengths of national parks and protected areas in different parts of Europe and North America and the challenges to the full realization of their goals.

It shows that they are useful not only in conserving rare species and biodiversity, but also in protecting water supply and other resources necessary to tourism and to economic and social development generally.

Ideas and information on useful planning, management and decision-making arrangements are presented, and research needs are identified.
