Participatory management of protected area in the carpathian ecoregion |
The handbook is addressed mainly to the protected area practitioners
working at the local level (staff of protected area Administrations, custodians, etc) but could be equally useful to the decision-makers working in nature conservation field at regional or national level, to students or teachers and to anyone interested in developing participatory processes or exploring the concepts, rationale and tools which are associated with the participatory approach for the management of nature protected areas.
Several other experts have brought their significant contribution to the elaboration of this handbook by providing useful comments and recommendations, revising different draft versions of this assessment: Erika Stanciu, Cristain Papp, Hildegard Meyer.
