Claudia Carter & Mark Reed
“Nothing is permanent but change” Heraclitus
Protected areas as social-
ecological systems
1Look
beyond park
boundaries2
Policy instruments to sustain ecosystem health and
services

Multi-functional landscapes
Parks as complex & unpredictable social-ecological systems
Looking beyond park boundaries…
…to ordinary landscapes
Policy instruments Regulation
e.g. prohibited activities, permits, planning zones Use of financial instruments
e.g. grants, subsidies, tax breaks, user fees, taxes Building capacity and providing people with
information e.g. training; websites; research & advisory services
More flexibility in leases and uses of interim and neglected spaces e.g. urban brownfield; upgrading of low biodiversity
value land; diversification of bland parkland)
Payments for Ecosystem Services A voluntary transaction where A well-defined ecosystem service (or land use
likely to secure that service) Is being “bought” by a (minimum one)
ecosystem service buyer From a (minimum one) ecosystem service
provider If and only if the ecosystem service provider
secures provision (conditionality)
Payments for Ecosystem Services
Conclusions Sole focus on protected areas may distract from
good land use/planning more generally Environmental governance needs to be
facilitated across integrated protected and “ordinary” landscapes
Fundamental thinking about interactions between society, protected areas and the greenspace between people and parks
