Qual é o papel do Turismo sustentável e do Ecoturismo nas áreas protegidas? Quais devem ser os preparativos para eventos de grande porte como a Copa do Mundo e os Jogos Olímpicos? Como a Biologia da Conservação pode contribuir para o manejo do Turismo ambiental? Para lidar com essas questões, alguns importantes aspectos da Biologia da Conservação são global e regionalmente contextualizados. São discutidos os conceitos de “biodiversidade”, “espécies comuns e raras”, “população mínima viável”, a necessidade de grandes espaços naturais para alguns organismos, bem como outros aspectos que levam a Conservação da Natureza a ser uma das questões mais importantes para a humanidade nos dias de hoje. The conservation of natural areas and the Ecotourism The role of sustainable tourism and ecotourism in protected areas will become of increased importance for the preparation of upcoming events like the Football World Cup and Olympic Games. Therefore, specific understanding of Conservation Biology should contribute to the management of environmental tourism. To address these issues, some important aspects of Conservation Biology in global and regional scales are contextualized. This paper discusses the concepts of “biodiversity”, “common and rare species”, “minimum viable population”, the need for large natural areas for some organisms, as well as other aspects that make Conservation of Nature one of the most important issues for humanity today.

A presente análise objetivou avaliar as ações de planejamento e gestão do Turismo em áreas naturais protegidas da Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista (RMBS) no Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), identificando em que nível estas ações foram influenciadas por conceitos e métodos propostos em dois programas mundiais da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU): os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento do Milênio (ODM) e a Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica (CDB). Enquanto a CDB já é amplamente difundida em programas de manejo e gestão do Turismo em áreas protegidas no Brasil, os ODM tiveram pouca penetração nesta temática. Subdivididos em oito metas globais, quatro delas têm amplo potencial para contribuir na elaboração de novas metodologias na gestão do Turismo em áreas naturais protegidas: o ODM 01 (redução da fome e da miséria); o ODM 03 (promoção da igualdade de gênero); o ODM 07 (respeito ao meio ambiente) e o ODM 08 (estabelecimento de parcerias para o desenvolvimento sustentável). Como resultado, a pesquisa demonstrou haver influência apenas indireta das metodologias propostas pelos ODM no que tange ao planejamento e gestão de atividades turísticas sustentáveis nas áreas naturais protegidas da RMBS, enquanto a influência da CDB foi facilmente identificável nas políticas e ações de planejamento e gestão do Turismo. Foram alcançadas algumas conclusões, como por exemplo, a de que os ODM passaram por uma clara adaptação ao contexto brasileiro por meio de políticas públicas, preferencialmente com relação ao ODM 01 (redução da pobreza). Quanto ao ODM 07, no qual o Turismo Sustentável insere-se como atividade econômica a ser incentivada na elevação do nível de renda das populações locais e em prol da conservação ambiental, este carece fortemente de políticas públicas assertivas. Sendo colocado pela ONU como primordial para o sucesso dos ODM em países em desenvolvimento, o Turismo Sustentável com base nos ODM e na CDB pode proporcionar significativos ganhos a áreas como a RMBS, permeada por complexas configurações urbanas, ambientais e sociais. Influence of global programs on the sustainability of tourism in protected areas of the metropolitan area of Baixada Santista (SP, Brazil) ABSTRACT This analysis aims to evaluate the action planning and management of tourism in protected natural areas of the Santos Metropolitan Region (RMBS) in the State of São Paulo (Brazil), whilst identifying at what level these actions were influenced by concepts and methods proposed in two global programs of the United Nations (UN): the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). While the CBD is already widespread in management programs and management of tourism in protected areas in Brazil, the MDGs have had little penetration on this theme. Subdivided into eight global goals, four of them have vast potential to contribute to the development of new methodologies in the management of tourism in protected natural areas: the ODM 01 (reducing hunger and poverty); MDG 03 (promoting gender equality); MDG 07 (respect for the environment) and the MDGs 08 (establishment of partnerships for sustainable development). As a result, the survey showed that there was only indirect influence of methodologies proposed by the MDGs with regards to planning and management of sustainable tourism activities in protected natural areas of RMBS. While the influence of the CBD was easily identifiable in policy and action planning and tourism management, some conclusions were reached, including the MDGs passing by a clear adaptation to the Brazilian context through public policies, preferably in relation to the MDGs 01 (poverty reduction). As for the MDGs 07, in which Sustainable Tourism is inserted as an economic activity to be encouraged in raising the income level of local populations while conserving the environment, this strongly lacks assertive public policy. It has been placed by the UN as paramount to the success of the MDGs in developing countries Sustainable Tourism based on the MDGs and the CBD can provide significant gains in areas such as RMBS, permeated by complex urban, environmental and social settings.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature World Parks Congress is held once a decade, and brings together thousands of the world’s experts on protected areas. In 2014, the Sydney World Parks Congress and the parallel event, Global Eco, provided a platform for 125 presentations relating to tourism and visitation. This paper presents a synthesis of the body of work shared at Sydney, including some of the cutting-edge issues, best practices, and inspiring initiatives relating to sustainable tourism. In particular, it compares issues that were highlighted at the 2003 World Parks Congress, and how they have evolved and progressed over the past decade. The paper highlights the role of different stakeholders from different corners of the world in promoting sustainable tourism practices. It also considers the relevance of tourism to the themes of the World Parks Congress, and how the sector is reflected within the official records of the 2003 and 2014 World Parks Congress. Looking forward to the next 10 years, the paper reflects on specific challenges, gaps in knowledge, and areas for further research and outreach.

As part of the natural heritage, our country (Romania) is a blessed place with many areas of unique beauty, with places where the spectacle of nature delights your eyes and take your breath with every step. Constantly promoting philatelic themes that use natural wealth and the beauty of our country as subjects, the administrative entity (with various names over time), nowadays Romfilatelia, responsible for issuing postage stamps performs a series of postage stamps in whose images are found rarities of flora and fauna, a miracle of nature. To show that protected natural areas have a special beauty, and to make them known to everyone and also to show the implications of thematic philately in the promotion of protected areas in the country and abroad, in this paper, we bring to the discussion the most significant philatelic peculiarities (stamps, first-day covers, illustrated and semi-illustrated postcard, maximum postcards, etc) related to the Rodna Mountains National Park.

Romania is a blessed place with many areas of unique beauty, and with the most interesting species of flora and fauna for research - as part of the natural heritage - with places where the spectacle of nature delights your eyes and take your breath with every step. Constantly promoting philatelic themes that use natural wealth and the beauty of our country as subjects, the administrative entity (with various names over time) responsible for issuing postage stamps performs a series of postage stamps in whose images are found rarities of flora and fauna, a miracle of nature. To show that protected natural areas have a special beauty, and to make them known to everyone, in this paper, we bring to the discussion the most significant philatelic peculiarities in the Domogled - Cerna Valley National Park. Also, through this paper, we tried to highlight the main post-philatelic effects (postage stamps, first-day covers - FDCs, illustrated postcards, maximum postcards, occasional envelopes, and other postal circulations), which appeared at the level of Romanian thematic philately, concerning the studied area. Through their prism, we tried to show that besides the role of ambassador of beauties and national heritage, the thematic philately has implications in the protection of species of flora and fauna. About other areas of interest, where the philatelic products were not highlighted, it can be mentioned that in the considered area (Domogled - Cerna Valley National Park) the management of the protected area only had to gain.

This Special Issue wants to outline the role of Geoheritage and Geotourism as potential touristic resources of a region. The term “Geoheritage” refers to a peculiar type of natural resources represented by sites of special geological significance, rarity or beauty that are representative of a region and of its geological history, events and processes. These sites are also known as “geosites” and, as well as archaeological, architectonic and historical ones, they can be considered as part of the cultural estate of a country. “Geotourism” is an emerging type of sustainable tourism, which concentrates on geosites, furnishing to visitors knowledge, environmental education and amusement. In this meaning, Geotourism may be very useful for geological Sciences divulgation and may furnish additional opportunities for the development of rural areas, generally not included among the main touristic attractions. The collected papers focused on these main topics with different methods and approaches and can be grouped as follows: (i) papers dealing with geosites promotion and valorisation in protected areas; (ii) papers dealing with geosites promotion and valorisation in non-protected areas; (iii) papers dealing with geosites promotion by exhibition, remote sensing analysis and apps; (iv) papers investigating geotourism and geoheritage from the tourists’ perspective.

AbstractThis article examines the tourist role of protected areas important for their unanimated nature potential. In Poland the highest form of legal protection is a national park. Babiogórski National Parks is one of 23 national parks in Poland. The aim of this article is to present its tourist attraction based on its geotourist potential considered by tourists who visit this park. At the beginning a brief history of protection of Babia Góra is presented. Based on stock-taking sightseeing method an analysis of the most important tourist attractiveness elements (like infrastructure or tourist values) is done. The focus on the values of unanimated nature is made grouping them into four main categories. As the result of research on infrastructure the most important accommodation units were indicated present at the surroundings of this National Park which is vital for its tourist capacity. For the correct functioning of tourist movement at the protected area the supporting infrastructure is important bearing a lot of functions. The function of channeling of the tourist movement as well as the didactic function are the most important for protection and correct use of geotourist values. Among the many elements of the supporting infrastructure the most important ones are tourist and didactic routes (their course and themes are presented). The most important part of the article is the presentation of the participants of the tourist movement opinions on the Babiogórski National Park tourist attractiveness. A survey was conducted and then analysed on 308 respondents in 2011. They were asked to judge both the quality of infrastructure as well as attraction of geotourist values together with their adaptation to reception by the tourist movement. The results analysis served as a base to appraise the state and perspectives for the geotourism development in Babiogórski National Park from the point of view of the receivers of tourist product i.e. the protected area.

RESUMO Diante do aumento da demanda pelo turismo em áreas naturais, motivado pela busca do contato do ser humano com áreas não urbanizadas como forma de refúgio dos problemas encontrados nos centros urbanizados, tem-se o Ecoturismo como uma das segmentações que proporciona a relação homem - natureza de forma contemplativa. O presente trabalho busca analisar, em conformidade aos princípios do turismo sustentável, de que forma a relação turista-atrativo vem sendo desempenhada no Parque Nacional de Sete Cidades (PN7C), localizado na porção meio-norte do estado do Piauí. Com base na observação da conduta desempenhada por turistas no processo de visitação a esse patrimônio natural, traçou-se um diagnóstico que possibilitou o apontamento de ações a se adotar, por parte dos administradores do parque, como forma de proporcionar práticas ecoturísticas colaborativas à conservação do meio visitado. Ecotourism practices in the “Sete Cidades” National Park (PI, Brazil) in the perspective of sustainable tourism ABSTRACT Due to increase in demand for tourism in natural areas, motivated by the needs of human being and its contact to non-urbanized areas as a way to scape from problems usually observed at urbanized centers, the ecotourism is one of the segmentation that provides the human being - environment relashionship into a contemplative way. This paper aims to analyse, according to sustainable tourism, how the relationship between tourists and tour spots is being performed at Sete Cidades National Park (PN7C), located at Piauí´s state mid-north portion. Based on behavior performed by tourists during its visit on that natural heritage, a diagnosis was made allowing the apointment of actions to be adopted by the administration of this natural park, as a way to provide eco touristic practices whom may collaborate to environment conservation.

Forest Carbon Stock

Abstract Background: At present, the role of protected areas has been expanded into climate change mitigation action, specifically on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). Reliable and practical method for measuring, reporting and verifying carbon stock is an essential component for REDD+. This study aims at recognizing the characteristic and estimating aboveground forest carbon stock in the tropical protected area using a combination of terrestrial forest inventory and spatial data. Results: In the study area of Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Central Sumatra, 168 cluster plots totaling 33.6 hectares were taken proportionally based on the percentage of forest cover types (dryland primary natural forest/DPF and dryland secondary natural forest/DSF) using a traditional forest inventory method (more than 5 cm dbh) in combination with the application of information technology. Results showed that Bukit Tigapuluh National Park secured a significant aboveground forest carbon stock which has been estimated to be 269.2 + 22.2 tC/ha or 35,823,639 + 2,951,071 tC in total, being sequestered in approximately 133,051 hectares of tropical rain forest. This result was higher than other studies located in non-protected areas, but slightly lower than other studies within protected area.Conclusion: This finding supported the argument that protected areas possess higher figure of aboveground carbon stock compared to other forest management units. High amount of forest carbon biomass in the protected areas shall be very important assets for conducting the role of conservation for REDD+.
