Protected Area Planning: A goal without a plan is just a dream
The planning of any protected area, whether it be a national park or a private game reserve, either terrestrial or marine, needs to satisfy legislative guidelines as well as sustainable ecological, economic and social principles.
In this presentation Ian unpacks the key issues in the context of the ultimate objective of securing global biodiversity and supporting appropriate global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).
Ian presents a strong case for a wildlife and biodiversity-based economic model being more appropriate than commercial agriculture in many parts of the Savannah biome of Sub-Saharan Africa.
