| Guidelines
for Protected Area Management Categories
The guidelines attempt to
establish greater understanding among all
concerned about the different categories
of protected areas. A central principle
upon which the guidelines are based is that
categories should be defined by the objectives
of management, rather than the title of
the area nor by the effectiveness of management
in meeting those objectives.

protected area network, aiming both to define
and record the resources. This issue of
PARKS draws upon the most important discussion,
case studies and conclusions brought to
light.
