Climate Change and Protected Places: Adapting to New Realities - Inaugural edition of Parks Stewardship Forum
The University of California Berkeley’s Institute for Parks, People, and Biodiversity (IPPB) and the George Wright Society (GWS) have just published the inaugural edition of Parks Stewardship Forum, The Interdisciplinary Journal of Place-Based Conservation. This new open-access journal serves the global stewards of parks, protected areas, cultural sites, and other forms of place-based conservation—the people at the forefront of conserving the special places most crucial to safeguarding the world’s cultural and natural heritage.
The inaugural issue, “Climate Change and Protected Places: Adapting to New Realities,” looks at how protected places are adapting and building resilience to the impacts of climate change. This is a special double issue, with over 25 essays, case studies, and a concluding photographic essay that explore current approaches to the most important issue of our time.
