TL;DR: The first comprehensive, critical examination of the rise of protected areas and their current social and economic position in our world is presented in this article, which explores key debates on devolution, participation and democracy; the role and uniqueness of indigenous peoples and other local communities; institutions and resource management; hegemony, myth and symbolic power in conservation success stories; tourism, poverty and conservation; and the transformation of social and material relations which community conservation entails.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline and analyse the ways in which viewing conservation through a neoliberal lens adds value (if you will excuse the metaphor) to the collection of critiques we offer, placing quite different geographical areas and case studies in a comparative context.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine divergent opinions about the quality of information available in the literature and examine the literature itself, discussing the patterns visible in nearly 250 reports over the last two years.
