Featured Publications
We advise and produced several publications on community management of protected areas. This one is directed at World Heritage Sites, though many of the principles and practices are widely applicable.
|
We co-authored a report of a (US) national conference on landscape conservation, describing new collaborations as diverse as Large Landscape Cooperatives and National Heritage Areas.
|
We worked with Equilibrium Research and Archipelago Consulting on this first-of-its-kind global assessment of privately protected areas.
