Summary Parks and reserves are on the front line in the campaign to conserve biodiversity on our planet. Integrated Conservation and Development Projects (ICDPs) set out to reconcile park management with local needs and aspirations--by emphasizing social and economic development among local communities--and attract funding for biodiversity. But results have been disappointing and important questions remain unanswered. The struggle to balance conservation and development continues, as does the need to evaluate what works and what doesn't. This book draws on the lessons from the ICDP experience to inform the next generation of biodiversity conservation programs. The contributors explore the theoretical and practical challenges to better inform conservationists and decision makers of the role that conservation and development approaches can and should play in conserving biodiversity
