Preface

Globally, protected areas and national parks are becoming increasingly important for biodiversity conservation and protection. They are home to thousands of species of flora and fauna that depend upon each other and are linked directly and indirectly to numerous ecosystems. Biodiversity is an intricate interaction on which civilization depends on various medicinal, economical, spiritual, and recreational resources. Unfortunately, climate change and the destruction of global biodiversity have taken a toll on the environment. To achieve a symbiosis between species conservation and ecotourism, a management approach to the usage of protected areas should be adopted. Based on the vital roles of protected areas and their importance for conservation, this book conveys important messages about what it takes for biodiversity to survive amidst degradation. Protected Area Management – Recent Advances is a platform for future planning and policy-making. The multidisciplinary approach in understanding such complex interaction results in a greater understanding of its function for conservatory decision-making. Chapters present an extensive array of

best practices in protected area management along with research findings.
