Expanding partnerships in conservation
   

Protected areas around the globe - national parks, wildlife reserves, biosphere reserves - will prosper only if they are supported by the public, the private sector, and the full range of government agencies. Yet such support is unlikely unless society appreciates the importance of protected areas to its own interests, and protected areas are well-managed and contribute to the national welfare in a cost-effective way. A crucial foundation for success is full cooperation between individuals and institutions. Based on papers presented at the IV World Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas, this book explores how new and stronger partnerships can be formed between managers of protected areas and other sectors of society. It describes a range of activities currently under-way in many parts of the world that are intended to improve conservation efforts at the international, national, and local levels. The book will be a valuable resource for anyone involved with establishing new protected areas, and building more positive relationships with the people who live in or around protected areas.

A sustainable world : defining and measuring sustainable development
   

"Sustainability" and "sustainable development" have become the guiding principles of environmental policy and international development, but what do they really mean? How do we know if we are moving toward a sustainable world? The contributors to this volume address these questions from diverse backgrounds and a variety of perspectives - with the aim of translating ideas into practice.

As excellent examples of oceanic island ecosystems, many unmodified by human influences, these islands are of great conservation significance but adequate protection varies.
