With ever more species under threat, isn’t it heartening that protected areas
are popping up all over the globe? Think again. Maintaining reserves is the hard
part—and many conservation sites are too small, isolated, underfunded or
polluted to work. The joint WWF/UN Conservation Union manual Partnerships
for Protection is a clear-eyed look at the muddle. Editors Sue Stolton and
Nigel Dudley have put together a comprehensive guide for green strategists,
bolstered throughout by excellent case studies. Published by Earthscan,
£18.95, ISBN 1853836095.
