  • Conference paper
National Parks and Protected Areas

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIG,volume 40))

Abstract

Stewardship describes an array of approaches to enable responsibility of landowners and resource users to manage and protect land and natural resources. The concept offers a means of extending conservation practices beyond the boundaries of conventional protected areas, conserving heritage at the level of landscapes, and engaging local people in improving conservation practices. Techniques range from education, to management agreements, to full acquisition of properties. Private and public/private stewardship approaches have grown to play a significant role in heritage conservation in North America and are developing in Central Europe to address the unique challenges facing the region’s landscape.
