Protected Areas:Are they Safeguarding Biodiversity?

What is the impact of protected areas (PAs) on biodiversity conservation. Are they really effective globally or are just a gimmick? The answers to these questions can be found in this book, which is part of a series brought out by Wiley-Blackwell in association with the Zoological Society of London. The book has 14 chapters divided into 4 sections with the first section depicting the global scenario of PAs. The second section has three chapters which speak on the issue, i.e. status of the fauna in the PAs.
