SAMPAA invites conference delegates to participate in SAMPAA 7 in a variety of ways:
Connecting “knowledge” with the management of protected areas. As this is a “SAMPAA conference” (i.e. Science and the Management of Protected Areas Association), we are particularly interested in better understanding how knowledge has informed or could inform the management of protected areas. Knowledge in this context is broadly defined to include insights or experience derived from natural science, social science, local knowledge, traditional knowledge, and the arts.
