This is a new editon of the classic textbook on marine protected area (MPA) management in the tropics, originally produced as an output of the Bali World Parks Congress in 1982. Approaches to planning and managing MPAs have evolved considerably. Major advances include innovative financing mechanisms, partnerships with the private sector and NGOs, and collaborative management between government and coastal communities.

The practice of keeping live birds in captivity has been widespread throughout this century and has increased considerably as the 20th century comes to a close. In the last decade or so, the increased trade in live birds from Tanzania has given rise to a number of concerns regarding the sustainability of the trade, its effects on bird numbers, and illegal trafficking.

This volume presents 21 papers given at a workshop held to demonstrate future policy towards hunting by tourists in Tanzania. It brings together contributions from experts from eastern and southern African countries. Papers cover a range of topics from administration of hunting, setting quotas, safari volume and returns from hunting, the involvement of local communities, and the professional hunter.
