“This book is about an approach to protected areas that is gaining growing recognition and that offers the potential to meet many conservation challenges. The protected landscape approach links conservation of nature and culture, and fosters stewardship by people living in the landscape. While grounded in experience with Category V Protected Landscapes/ Seascapes,1 this approach is broader than a single protected area category or designation. Rather, it relies on different tools and designations to achieve protection, and on an array of processes and traditional systems to sustain people’s relationship to the land”. Fonte: os autores
