Abstract

Locke and Dearden (2005) assert that the emerging new paradigm for protected areas (PAs) risks taking the PA agenda to a ‘tragic failure,’ and the planet towards biological impoverishment. They believe the ‘new paradigm’ contributes to a persistent tendency towards giving social issues higher priority over biological considerations and is based on the promotion of PA categories V and VI of the IUCN (World Conservation Union).
