How to protect special places on your land and sea under the Protected Areas Act 2010

Abstract

Protected Areas are mainly set up to conserve nature and wildlife. They also help support the sustainable use of resources to meet livelihood needs of local communities and customary owners. Legally protected areas can help support the traditional system, especially for serious infringements (when people break the rules of a protected area) and can provide a tool to formalise and enforce rules and community rights
