They allow reserve systems to be structured in a way which we assume is better, in terms of representing species, than allocating reserves randomly or according to the tenures most easily converted from other land uses; but how useful are they in this regard? It is a common...

We concluded that at the landscape level, both vegetation type and land tenure play a role in the interactions between dingoes/wild dogs and foxes. We also concluded that citizen...

What the date 1950 makes clear is that protected areas for wildlife is a relatively recent idea, one that has arrived very late on the scene for deciding how the land of a nation could, or even should, be allocated. Protected areas, whether for wildlife, game, plants, ecosystems or scenery for public...
