Protected and conserved areas represent one of the most prominent and
critical conservation strategies to ensure biodiversity. Despite the increasing global
coverage of protected areas, many challenges remain to be resolved, mainly concerning
their management and the interface between areas dedicated to conservation and
production. To preserve biodiversity and achieve global conservation goals, protected
area management requires innovative and regenerative approaches that transform the
relationship of human beings with the places where they live and interact in a context of
permanent and dynamic change, thus restoring the balance and integrity of ecosystems.
We review the current trends and propose an approach that gives a central and critical
role to the human being in the recovery of the health of terrestrial and marine
ecosystems to create functional regenerative landscapes.
