Features: Protected area management holds a unique position in the field of resources and environment. Many issues in protected area management reflect the global shared topic of the "human-land relationship." Canada is at the forefront of protected area management worldwide, and its fundamental concepts of ecological integrity, commemorative integrity, and sustainable development, along with many advanced experiences, can serve as references for us. This book introduces its main theories, methods, and experiences, covering the development history and background of Canadian protected areas, the functions and principles of protected areas, protected area systems, relevant regulations and policies for protected areas, the establishment and planning of protected areas, and the management mechanisms of protected areas. It is expressed in both Chinese and English, accompanied by numerous charts and photographs taken in the field. This book is suitable for students and teachers in universities and colleges majoring in geography, ecology, environment, and management, as well as researchers and managers in protected areas, resource and environmental departments, government decision-makers, and personnel from green organizations.
