Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a dramatic impact on the global community; on people’s lives and health, livelihoods, economies, and behaviours. Most zoonotic disease pandemics, including COVID-19, arise from the unsustainable exploitation of nature. This special editorial provides a snapshot of how protected and conserved areas around the world are being impacted by COVID-19. For many protected and conserved areas, negative impacts on management capacity, budgets and effectiveness are significant, as are impacts on the livelihoods of communities living in and around these areas. We provide a commentary on how effectively and equitably managed systems of protected and conserved areas can be part of a response to the pandemic that both lessens the chance of a recurrence of similar events and builds a more sustainable future for people and nature. We conclude the editorial with a Call for Action for the rescue, recovery, rebuilding and expansion of the global network of protected and conserved areas.

社论文章:COVID-19与保护区

2019冠状病毒病大流行正在对国际社会产生巨大影响;影响人们的生命和健康、生计、经济和行为。包括COVID-19在内的大多数人畜共患疾病大流行都是由于对自然的不可持续开发造成的。这篇特别社论简要介绍了世界各地受保护和保护区如何受到COVID-19的影响。对于许多保护区和保护区来说，对管理能力、预算和有效性的负面影响是巨大的，对生活在这些地区及其周围的社区的生计也产生了重大影响。我们就有效和公平管理的保护区系统如何成为应对大流行的一部分发表评论，既减少类似事件再次发生的机会，又为人类和自然建立一个更可持续的未来。最后，我们呼吁采取行动，拯救、恢复、重建和扩大全球保护区网络。

期刊介绍： We aim for PARKS to be a rigorous, challenging publication with high academic credibility and standing. But at the same time the journal is and should remain primarily a resource for people actively involved in establishing and managing protected areas, under any management category or governance type. We aim for the majority of papers accepted to include practical management information. We also work hard to include authors who are involved in management but do not usually find the time to report the results of their research and experience to a wider audience. We welcome submissions from people whose written English is imperfect as long as they have interesting research to report, backed up by firm evidence, and are happy to work with authors to develop papers for the journal. PARKS is published with the aim of strengthening international collaboration in protected area development and management by: • promoting understanding of the values and benefits derived from protected areas to governments, communities, visitors, business etc; • ensuring that protected areas fulfil their primary role in nature conservation while addressing critical issues such as ecologically sustainable development, social justice and climate change adaptation and mitigation; • serving as a leading global forum for the exchange of information on issues relating to protected areas, especially learning from case studies of applied ideas; • publishing articles reporting on recent applied research that is relevant to protected area management; • changing and improving protected area management, policy environment and socio-economic benefits through use of information provided in the journal; and • promoting IUCN’s work on protected areas.
