Sustainable Management of
Protected Areas for Future Generations
Description
This book consists of 28 papers
selected from among those presented
at the IUCN World Commission
on Protected Areas 5th Conference
on Protected Areas of East Asia,
held on 21-25 June 2005 in Hong
Kong. The title of the book
repeats the theme of the Conference:
“Sustainable Management of Protected
Areas for Future Generations”.
All the selected papers relate
to the management of protected
areas, but in other aspects
they are very diverse. Almost
half the papers come from the
host city, Hong Kong, but the
study areas of the others range
from Hainan Island in the south
to the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea in the north. The focal
ecosystems are equally diverse,
from forested mountains to urban
wetlands, and from streams to
coral reefs. Some are concerned
with the entire biotas of protected
areas, while others focus on
plants, birds, fish or invertebrates.
Some report success stories,
while others focus on threats,
but most record both. This is
the reality of conservation
in densely populated East Asia,
where most protected areas are
too small and too popular to
survive without
