Preface In every corner of the world can be found landscapes that have been shaped by the interactions of people and nature over time. These landscapes have been created by traditional patterns of land use that have contributed to biodiversity and other natural values, have proven sustainable over centuries, and are living examples of cultural heritage. They are rich in natural and cultural values not in spite of but because of the presence of people. Protecting these landscapes requires a conservation approach that recognises natural as well as cultural values, sustains traditional connections to the land, and engages people in stewardship of the places where they live and work. As countries worldwide move to expand and strengthen their national protected area systems, greater attention must be paid to protecting landscapes. By no means an alternative to strictly protected areas, protected landscapes are a complementary element and an essential part of any protected area system. They are particularly appropriate in areas where biodiversity and cultural practices are linked, and where management practices must accommodate traditional uses, land ownership patterns, and the need to sustain local livelihoods. Protected landscapes can contribute to the viability of more strictly protected areas by reinforcing connectivity among areas and linkages within the broader landscape, especially in situations where con - servation objectives are being met over a large area of land. Our intention in this book is to introduce the protected landscape approach and demonstrate its relevance to the conservation challenges facing protected areas. While it draws especially from experience with IUCN Category V protected areas and the World Heritage Cultural Landscape designation, the protected landscape approach is broader than single protected area category or designation. We have chosen examples from around the world that illustrate how the protected landscape approach works in diverse settings. The authors who have contributed to this volume argue the importance of this approach and through their case-studies show how it is being adapted to different contexts. The experience presented here demonstrates the values and benefits of the protected landscape approach, and points the way toward meeting future challenges. This book is a project of the Protected Landscapes Task Force of IUCN’s World Commission on Protected Areas, and is part of a collection of publications produced by the Task Force over the last few years. An important companion volume is the Management Guidelines for IUCN Category V Protected Areas: Protected Landscapes/Seascapes (Phillips, 2002) in the IUCN/Cardiff University series, which provides guidance in planning and managing protected landscapes. In addition, Task Force members have contributed to a recent issue of the journal PARKS on Category V Protected Areas (Beresford, 2003), as well as an issue of George Wright Forum (Brown, Mitchell and Sarmiento, 2000), both of which brought out case-studies of current practice with Protected Landscapes and Seascapes. Many of the case-studies in this collection were presented at a workshop on Protected Landscapes and Seascapes at the V th World Parks Congress (Durban, South Africa, 2003), and at an earlier meeting of the Protected Landscapes Task Force (Stow-on-Wold, UK, 2001). The workshop at the World Parks Congress spanned three sessions within the Linkages in the Landscape and Seascape stream, and the cross-cutting theme on Communities and Equity, and ix
The Protected Landscape Approach: Linking Nature, Culture and Community was preceded by a panel focusing on the role of communities in sustaining landscapes. These sessions at the World Parks Congress are discussed in more detail in the introductory chapter of this book. We are grateful to the Countryside Agency, UK, which has supported the production of this book as a publication of IUCN and its World Commission on Protected Areas. We thank also the organizations and working groups which have co-sponsored this publication: IUCN’s inter-commission Theme on Indigenous and Local Communities, Equity and Protected Areas (TILCEPA); the Quebec-Labrador Foundation/Atlantic Center for the Environment (QLF); the Conservation Study Institute of the National Park Service; and the International Centre for Protected Landscapes. As noted earlier, many of the chapters in this book grew out of presentations at a recent workshop and panel at the World Parks Congress. We thank Peter Bridgewater, who coordinated the stream on Linkages in the Landscape and Seascape, and Ashish Kothari and Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend, who coordinated the cross-cutting theme on Communities and Equity, for their support of these sessions. We thank the chapter authors who have contributed to this book. It has been a privilege to work with each of them. Special thanks are due to Adrian Phillips for his helpful guidance and review during development of the book, and Richard Partington for his support throughout this project. We are greatly indebted to Stephanie Tuxill for her work as Photo Editor, and for her many contributions to the production of this publication. We are pleased to have the opportunity to bring out the rich and diverse experience with the protected landscape approach that is presented in this collection.
