National Parks and Protected Landscapes: Perspectives, Practices, and Lessons for Landscape Management

National parks and protected areas are not just places set aside for nature conservation. They are living landscapes where ecological processes, cultural values, recreation, tourism, communities, and different forms of land management intersect. Across the world, protected-area systems are being established, expanded, reconfigured, and reimagined in response to climate change, changing patterns of tourism and recreation, biodiversity loss, community expectations, and broader landscape and regional development.

This Issue of Landscape Review invites contributions that explore the diverse ways in which national parks and protected areas are understood, planned, managed, experienced, and imagined. We are particularly interested in contributions that connect scholarly activities, designs, ideas, and practice that may span across different geographical, cultural, institutional, and disciplinary contexts.
