Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.

Download or read book National Parks written by Samuel F. Pyatt and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Park Service (NPS), in the Department of the Interior. has long worked with outside partners, including donors and volunteers, commercial concessioners, land managers in surrounding areas, and others, to fulfill its land stewardship responsibilities. In some park units, however, partnerships go beyond such traditional forms of cooperation. In the so-called "partnership parks," NPS owns and/or manages units along with federal, tribal, state, local, or private partners. Congress generally specifies partners and partnership terms in these units' enabling legislation. This book examines the ongoing congressional interest in the partnership park option, as Congress seeks to leverage limited financial resources for park management, to respond to concerns about federal land acquisition, and to create park units in "lived-in" landscapes, where natural and historical attractions are mixed with homes and businesses.

To address these concerns, the NPS has developed policies for managing donations, but questions remain about the agency's ability to do so effectively. This report examines: (1) how donations and related partnerships have supported the NPS; (2) the policies and processes the agency uses to manage donations and how well they are working; and (3) what the agency could do to enhance its mgmt. of donations and related partnerships.
