Protected Area Governance and Management
Protected Area Governance and Management presents a compendium of original text, case studies and examples from across the world, by drawing on the literature, and on the knowledge and experience of those involved in protected areas. The book synthesises current knowledge and cutting-edge thinking from the diverse branches of practice and learning relevant to protected area governance and management. It is intended as an investment in the skills and competencies of people and consequently, the effective governance and management of protected areas for which they are responsible, now and into the future.

Wild Kingdom
From six-time Global eBook Award medallist, Anne Rouen, comes Wild Kingdom—the second novel in her collection of Australian Outback romantic suspense dramas set in Queensland in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Sudden tragedy places Laura’s life on a new and unexpected path, leading her on a journey back to her roots at a remote cattle station in the Gulf of Carpentaria. While she expects to find the long-lost sanctuary of her childhood, she is instead greeted with chaos and a dream set in ruins. Laura finds herself burdened with the unyielding task of rebuilding her great-uncle’s cattle station, where the anticipated struggles of this harsh environment are superseded by a more imminent danger in the form of a cunning, daring stock thief who will stop at nothing to break her. Strong-willed and determined, Laura digs in her heels to battle all obstacles in order to keep the station afloat. But all too soon, she faces the greatest challenge of all: desperately trying to stop herself from falling for the one man she can’t be sure she can trust. Is Laura in love with a traitor, and is she being set-up to fail?
Religion and Nature Conservation
This book presents a broad array of global case studies exploring the interaction between religion and the conservation of nature, from the viewpoints of the religious practitioners themselves. With conservation and religion often being championed as allies in the quest for a sustainable world where humans and nature flourish, this book provides a much-needed compendium of detailed examples where religion and conservation science have been brought together. Case studies cover a variety of religions, faiths and practices, including traditional, Indigenous, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto and Zoroastrianism. Importantly, this volume gives voice to the religious practitioners and adherents themselves. Beyond an exercise in anthropology, ethnobiology and comparative religion, the book is an applied work, seeking the answer to how in a world of nearly eight billion people, we might help our own species to prevent the extinction of life. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of nature conservation, environment and religion, cultural geography and ethnobiology, as well as practitioners and professionals working in conservation.
Asian Sacred Natural Sites
Nature conservation planning tends to be driven by models based on Western norms and science, but these may not represent the cultural, philosophical and religious contexts of much of Asia. This book provides a new perspective on the topic of sacred natural sites and cultural heritage by linking Asian cultures, religions and worldviews with contemporary conservation practices and approaches. The chapters focus on the modern significance of sacred natural sites in Asian protected areas with reference, where appropriate, to an Asian philosophy of protected areas. Drawn from over 20 different countries, the book covers examples of sacred natural sites from all of IUCN’s protected area categor...
