Parks and protected areas are crucial for the health of the biosphere and long-term
sustainability of the planet. However challenges these areas face include: there are
simply not enough of them, the existing ones are often too small and fragmented, and
there is not always public support for them. Regional parks are specific types of
protected areas that can help contribute to conservation and sustainability. The
effectiveness of protected areas for conservation can be enhanced through a variety of
strategies such as “biosphere reserves”. This research looks at stakeholder perceptions
regarding potential benefits of the Mount Arrowsmith Massif Regional Park and the
importance of the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Reserve Operating Framework. This
study has contributed to the larger Protected Areas and Poverty Reduction (PAPR)
research initiative as it discusses the flow of costs and benefits from protected areas and
alternate forms of protected area governance.
