Beschreibung

This book argues that legal geography provides new insights into contemporary conservation challenges. Despite unprecedented efforts, we are facing an extinction crisis, and in situ protected area programs are falling short. This book discusses the protected area phenomenon and calls for changes to current approaches, informed by legal geography ¿an inter-disciplinary area focused on the intertwined people¿place¿law dynamics that enable, or disable, effective management practices.

The book examines two protected area types: World Heritage Sites, where places of ¿outstanding universal value¿ are protected for all humanity, and Ramsar protected wetland sites, one of the first global environmental protection initiatives. Using case studies from the Australasian region (Australia, the Pacific and Southeast Asia), it reveals how current approaches can be improved by taking into account the people¿place¿law nexus embedded in legal geography research.
