Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Environmental concerns and conflicts along borders are a worldwide problem creating a need for cooperation between countries. The establishment of transboundary protected areas or peace parks is one solution. This timely and important volume discusses all aspects of the connection between conservation, peace, and regional cooperation. It is a seminal source of information for anyone, individual or government, concerned with these fundamental issues." -- George B. Schaller , Wildlife Conservation Society "I am excited to see this book on peace parks. By providing useful case studies as well as measured analytical thought, it is a milestone in the literature on this topic. It presents peace parks not necessarily as a panacea, but as an important contribution toward more sustainable conservation as well as for international relations -- while at the same time pointing out some of the potential obstacles to achieving these goals. I applaud the authors for taking on such an important and relevant topic in conservation today and look forward to seeing how action on the ground will be supported through this approach." -- Achim Steiner , United Nations Under Secretary General and Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme "It is a great relief to see the publication of Peace Parks. This is a full and definitive work on the subject by multiple experts. As hoped, it demonstrates a powerful instrument for achieving peace, one constructed at the intersection of science, environment, and international relations." -- Edward O. Wilson , Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University Read more...
