Best practice reports
The Committee on National Parks and Protected Area Management was established with terms of reference to 'identify issues and report on matters relating to the selection, planning and management of national parks and protected areas and the development of staff involved in their management'.
A series of reports, each one dealing with a particular aspect of protected area management, was prepared under the program during the life of the Committee.
