| Description | How can national parks and protected areas be governed to achieve their roles and how are these roles defined and what ambitions underpin the establishment of such areas? How can tourism contribute to these and what are the possible points of contention? Worldwide areas that are perceived as natural or valuable from some perspective are being protected to an ever greater extent. The efforts of protection impact livelihoods of people living there in both positive and negative ways. Unravelling the complex interlinkages and dynamics that make for a national park and/or protected area is important in order to provide guidelines as to how best to succeed in their establishment. |
