Opis

The drivers of countryside management and conservation are increasingly international and European. They aim to provide comprehensive new frameworks for the whole countryside, and community-driven planning and protection. This book examines the impact and effectiveness of these approaches, their integration and practical value, drawing on a range of highly relevant case studies. The result is a volume that provides an up-to-date review and analysis of the pressures on the countryside, the policies for the future and the keys to successful implementation.
