Protected areas and biodiversity : an overview of key issues

This book intends to highlight the importance of biodiversity in the broadest sense of the term, by making visible and illustrating the differentiated relations that women and men establish with nature and the consequences thereof in regard to development promotion. This document is basically focused on the recognition of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the National Biodiversity Strategies (NBS), as participation and awareness-raising mechanisms of our societies to build a new form of relation between human beings and their environment.
Los objetivos de este libro son resaltar la importancia de la diversidad en toda la extensión del término, al visibilizar y ejemplificar las relaciones que establecen, en forma diferencial las mujeres y los hombres con la naturaleza y sus consecuencias para la promoción del desarrollo.
With good governance firmly entrenched on the international agenda, this publication analyses the trends affecting protected area governance at the international level, and goes on to explore emerging issues concerning certification, standards, partnerships and funding mechanisms. It does not seek to prescribe the answers, rather it seeks to clearly articulate the issues, the competing arguments, and the challenges that all need to be addressed as we strive for the optimal protected area governance arrangements.
