This book provides a comprehensive overview of modern approaches for involving the private sector, nongovernment organizations, local communities, and scientific research institutions in protected area management. It draws on information from throughout the world, but focuses particularly on the Asian and Pacific region. The intention is to build broader support for ensuring that economic development is based on sound environmental management, by providing numerous examples and guidelines. Case studies for Indonesia, Nepal, and Viet Nam demonstrate how the various approaches described in the book can be applied at the national level. The book concludes with options for action to facilitate broader cooperation in meeting the conservation challenges of the 21st century.
