“The publication builds upon and complements the IUCN Guidelines on Protected Areas Legislation (Lausche 2011), which set out key elements for modern protected areas (PA) legislation. As a major project in its own right, the Guidelines were not able to analyse in depth the critical law and policy aspects of conservation initiatives outside protected areas that are needed to sustain and increase their resilience in the face of ongoing threats from development and increasing global change, including climate change.” Fonte: Antonio Herman Benjamin, Alejandro Iza, Ernesto Enkerlin and Trevor Sandwith
