Strict naturereserve : set aside to protect biodiversity ,humanvisitation are strictly controlled and limited lb . National park: near natural areas set asideto protect large-scale ecological process ,visitor opportunity. Iii. nat illroll monument: protectaspecific natural monument, quite small areas withhighvisitor values. Iv. habitatlfpeciec managementarca: protect particular species ihabitat andmanagement reflectthis priority: protected landscape/ seascape : interaction of people and nature over time hasproduced an area of distinct character (safeguarding) Ill - protected area with sustainable use ofresources : conserve ecosystems it associated cultural values t traditional natural management. " 1920"s : wideuse movement; resource extraction expands : multi -use. " 1960 "s : awareness of pollutionof air ,land ,water. " 1990" f : awareness of functional ,connectivity. " 2010"s : emphasis on ecological function preserving ecosystems: establish individual protected areas, create network of protected areas. Goal was to understand biogeography of space, not conserve biodiversity six rules for effective reserve design.
