Regional development

The purpose of Grassroots Development is to share grassroots development experiences with a variety of public and private audiences. The journal reports on how the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean organize and work to improve their lives, on issues and trends in the development community, and on how institutions cooperate to further the development of the region.

Currently, there are a number of book on the market dealing with protected areas management from different perspectives. However, there is no book available that emphasises regional development and stakeholder involvement along the "life-cycle" of protected areas and that additionally has a focus on the European perspective of managing protected areas. This book tries to fill this gap.
