Stewardship and management of protected natural areas: the international context

Abstract

The international system for the classification of protected natural areas developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is intended to provide a common language for the management of these areas. The main objective of this study is to examine the institutional compatibility between different countries and the guidelines proposed by the IUCN. The method used consisted of a comparative analysis of the institutional and legal frameworks in South Africa, Australia, Brazil, China, the United States and Italy. The findings indicate that few countries have adopted the IUCN proposals in their entirety. Some have adapted their laws to the international guidelines, although with various changes, such as differences in the nomenclature used for management categories, while in other countries the legislation diverges substantially from these guidelines. In conclusion, these divergences and incompatibilities make it difficult to exchange experiences at an international level and adopt common strategies for the conservation of natural heritage.

A Network Perspective of the Ecosystem’s Health Provision Spectrum in the Tourist Trails of UNESCO Global Geoparks: Santo Sepulcro and Riacho do Meio Trails, Araripe UGG (NE of Brazil)

“…Therefore, the measurement of the ecosystem's health provision spectrum from a network perspective can optimize the production of guiding bases in the identification of the characteristics of the different scenarios of the trails, and the indicators of the intangible supplies of this seek to add value in the offer of visiting experiences and as an alternative for health promotion arising from a healthy and sustainable lifestyle [3,18,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. In this sense, the objectives of this investigation are to describe and associate in a network perspective the variables of the ecosystem's health provision spectrum.…”

Conservação da natureza sob a perspectiva da gestão comunitária

“…Dentre esses espaços estabelecidos sob custódia legal, no âmbito brasileiro se destacam as unidades de conservação. Estas parcelas do território são designadas majoritariamente para procedimentos conservacionistas, com limites definidos e regulamentação específica quanto aos seus usos, podendo, em algumas categorias, abranger mecanismos sustentáveis de exploração econômica ou, naquelas mais restritivas, ser admitida apenas pesquisa científica não degradante (PELLIZZARO et al, 2015).…”

Percepção Ambiental De Comunitários Da Área De Proteção Ambiental (Apa) Do Rio Curiaú, Amapá, Amazônia, Brasil: Instrumento De Conservação E Gestão

“…Dentre estas, a criação de Áreas Protegidas (AP) constituiu-se como uma ferramenta relevante para a conservação de biomas e espécies de fauna e flora. Isto se deu, principalmente, por seus aspectos para o estabelecimento de limites, regulamentação do uso e ocupação do território, considerando as características socioambientais locais e os objetivos de manejo e gestão definidos para cada área (PELLIZZARO et al, 2015;FERREIRA e PROFICE, 2019;GRAMMATIKOPOULOS e TEIXEIRA, 2020).…”
