      Conservation specialists from 50-plus countries examine the contributions protected areas make toward creating a more sane and equitable world for the planet's human inhabitants. The text evolved from a 2000 conference organized in Thailand by the World Wildlife Fund and the International Union for Conservation of Nature's World Commission on Protected Areas, looking at protected area management effectiveness. The authors consider the benefits of protected areas in relation to health and recreation, urban water supplies, food supplies, fish stocks, hazard mitigation and national security, human well-being, biodiversity conversation, cultural diversity, tourism, climate change, and conflict resolution. Each chapter includes discussion of the values and associated benefits of the issue, a review of the current and future role of protected areas, and management issues. Each of the main essays is supplemented by one or two case studies demonstrating how protected areas help in conserving the value discussed. Distributed in the . by Stylus Publishing.
