The special significance and characteristics of mountains often require that major portions of them be afforded extra care or protection. Many have received legislative recognition by designation as parks or reserves of various kinds, and there are some 430 mountain protected areas worldwide. The guidelines are intended for planners and managers of this estate. They are offered as a sharing experience by 40 scientists and managers in over 30 countries. They arise out of an international consultation on Protected Areas in Mountain Environments organized in 1991.

Pour qu’un développement soit durable, il convient d’isoler certaines terres et de les déclarer zones protégées. Ces zones, qui comprennent les parcs nationaux, représentent une contribution importante pour l’humanité en ce sens qu’elles sauvegardent le patrimoine naturel et culturel au bénéfice des peuples eux-mêmes et qu’elles assurent l’équilibre écologique au fur et à mesure de l’accroissement de la population mondiale. L’OMT et l’UNEP ont uni leurs efforts pour éditer ces principes directeurs dans le but d’aider les pays à gérer de façon durable leurs parcs nationaux et zones protégées assimilées.Ce document comporte des informations sur les plans d’aménagement et de gestion des parcs visant à guider le choix et l’aménagement des sites consacrés aux parcs. Il renseigne également sur les effectifs et le marketing des parcs.

There is today a growing awareness that many wetlands are more valuable in their natural, or only slightly modified state, than if drained, dyked or built upon. Past neglect of wetlands has meant that there is insufficient material available on policy guidance, planning techniques, or management methodologies for their conservation and sustainable use in different regions. This publication begins to redress the balance by reviewing the importance of wetlands, examining the reasons for wetland loss, and identifying ways and means to improve wetland management

This four volume directory was published for the IVth World Parks Congress held in Caracas, Venezuela, in February 1992, by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) and IUCN in cooperation with the British Petroleum Company p.l.c. This is the first time a world-wide survey of protected area systems has been compiled by WCMC. It is organized into national accounts, each comprising a description of the national protected areas system, accompanied by a summary list and map of protected areas. The directory aims to provide extensive background information on the protected area systems of the world, and to stimulate the continual process of review and update of information on protected areas.
