TL;DR: Whereas the strictest regimes of PA management attempted to exclude anthropogenic influences to achieve biological conservation objectives, PAs that explicitly integrated local people as stakeholders tended to be more effective at achieving joint biological conservation and socioeconomic development outcomes.

TL;DR: Current approaches to mitigating adverse human-predator encounters are reviewed and a vision for future approaches to understanding and mitigating such encounters is devised, including a recommendation for focused interdisciplinary research and the use of new approaches, including human-animal geography, multispecies ethnography, and approaches from the environmental humanities notably environmental history.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors question whether the increasingly popular, radical idea of turning half the Earth into a network of protected areas is either feasible or just, and call instead for alternative radical action that is both effective and more equitable, focused directly on the main drivers of biodiversity loss by shifting the global economy from its current foundation in growth while simultaneously redressing inequality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework to understand how conservation, in particular protected areas and national parks, are resisted, based on theo- ries of subaltern politics and a review of thirty-four published case studies.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of how the neoliberalisation of conservation has affected the kinds of impacts that conservation projects entail for local communities is presented, showing that, whilst there are important variegations within neoliberal conservation, processes of neoliberalisation nevertheless tend to produce certain recurring trends in their social impacts.
