Protected Areas, Sustainable Land?
Author: Estienne Rodary
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317074416
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Protected areas, such as nature reserves, national parks and marine conservation areas, are the main tool of nature conservation policies and are increasing on a worldwide scale. They are one of the main forms of environmental planning, and conservation institutions have increasing means at their disposal. At the same time, the goals of protected areas have become more diverse, with the involvement of more stakeholders and complex institutional frameworks. Giving an account of the extension and diversification of protected areas, this book determines whether these two processes constitute a breakdown in conservation policies. Economists, ecologists, lawyers, anthropologists and geographers analyse the various trends which are fundamental to the future of protected areas to reveal a conflicting scene where narrative around cooperation and integration hides competition between different interests. This book shows how protected areas are emerging as zones of divergent experimentations of sustainable development rather than lasting forms of integrative environmental management.

Conservation de la biodiversité et état de référence
Author: Laurent Godet
Publisher: ISTE Group
ISBN: 1784059137
Category : Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 304
Book Description
L’ère de l’Anthropocène est marquée par une pression humaine si forte qu’elle a conduit à la sixième extinction de masse. La notion d’état de référence appliquée au domaine de la conservation de la biodiversité permet d’appréhender la domination des humains sur Terre comme un processus de modification de nos paysages qui n’est ni linéaire ni homogène. Conservation de la biodiversité et état de référence s’articule autour de trois points clés. Il définit d’abord où et quand tout a « mal tourné », réfléchit ensuite à l’utilisation des états de référence pour élaborer des stratégies de conservation et propose enfin des exemples d’application concrète de la notion d’état de référence sur le littoral, la forêt et les paysages agropastoraux. La conservation de la biodiversité est aujourd’hui confrontée à des choix nécessaires : revenir à des états moins modifiés par les humains qu’aujourd’hui, mais dans un monde qui a beaucoup changé ; laisser la nature de demain s’exprimer là où elle le peut encore, mais sans aucune feuille de route ; ou encore construire des alternatives basées sur des projets territoriaux.
