Protected Areas and Spatial Management

Here, the relationship between protected areas and local communities is analyzed with perspectives from sites in Tanzania, Chile, Canada, Ghana and Tajikistan. Protected areas in a variety of environments such as mountain ranges, prairies, and coastal and marine areas along with their respective associated conservation challenges are presented through the documents found to the right of this page.

Topics highlighted throughout the resources on this page include reconciling conflicting values between stakeholders, the recognition of Indigenous rights to self governance, managing conservation and sustainable development goals simultaneously, and supporting poverty alleviation through income diversification strategies.
