“…Efforts to attract a greater diversity of people to sites also need to reflect the heterogeneities of different sectors of society, each of which has different recreational preferences, needs, and aspirations for nature (Baas et al 1993, Payne et al 2002, Sasidharan 2007. It could be debated whether SSSIs provide a suitable policy vehicle for broadening the diversity of beneficiaries of countryside ecosystem services, given that these SSSI areas were originally designated for very different reasons.…”

ABSTRACT. Public support for protected areas depends, in part, upon clear demonstrations of the importance of the ecosystem services provided by these areas. However, only a limited number of studies have examined the value of protected areas in providing these services, and even less work has assessed how equitably these benefits are distributed across society. We used on-site surveys to characterize people who derived recreational benefit from a set of areas in the United Kingdom that were originally protected for their conservation value. We found that an unrepresentative subset of society enjoyed this benefit. Site visitor populations were biased towards older people and men, and minority groups were starkly underrepresented, comprising only 1% of overall visitors. When the characteristics of visitors were examined, the more privileged sectors of society were found to have received disproportionate benefits. These biases persisted across weekday and weekend visits and whether sites were considered altogether or individually. Conservation goals will only be met if broad public support for the natural environment is engaged and maintained, for example, through nature recreation. However, our results suggest that at present a worrying disconnect exists between public conservation efforts and much of society.

“…Bajo esta perspectiva, las personas son ubicadas en diferentes razas y grupos étnicos, con base en criterios físicos y biológicos y en la creencia de diferencias culturales inherentes. Las categorías raciales y étnicas son difíciles de erradicar porque son usadas en la vida diaria; no obstante, pueden ser debatidas y podrían ser vencidas con el tiempo (Onana Atouba, 2006;Sasidharan 2002). …”
