ENVISION
An inclusive approach to assessing integrative scenarios and visions for protected area management
Developing protected area (PA) management strategies that enhance biodiversity conservation while also supporting the needs of stakeholders is a major global challenge. Assessing the consequences of diverse visions on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and well-being across stakeholder groups remains a critical research gap which restricts guidance to decision making.
In partnership with local residents, protected area managers and diverse industry groups, we will examine the consequences of multiple visions for PA management, using mixed-method, participatory scenario planning tools, in four case study areas: Västra Harg (Sweden), Utrechtse Heuvelrug & Kromme Rijn region (The Netherlands), Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain) and Denali National Park and Preserve (United States).
