Recenzje

"Now Nigel and Sue have consolidated much of their experience, and the knowledge of the many colleagues whose work they have read, or collaborated with, in this impressive synthesis of the current state of the art of protected areasplanning and management. They draw on a wide range of first-hand experiences from around the world to illustrate the points they make, while returning again and again to their home between the Welsh mountains and coast to "ground truth" their observations. As always, the writing is lucid and the story highly readable. They feel passionately about the subject but they are commendably balanced in how they address such thorny issues as the rights of Indigenous peoples in respect of the natural resources upon which their livelihoods depend." — Adrian Phillips, Parks Journal, Issue 26.1
