This course gives a short and practical overview of “protected areas”, regions dedicated to the conservation of nature. How do they work and why are they so important for the preservation of our constantly changing environment? Thanks to this course you will be able to understand the challenges of conservation, especially in Africa, and how protected areas can help face them, at a local and international level. This course is part of the BOOC series (Book ad Open Online Courses), a collection of reading material supporting the MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) provided by the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. These documents ideally complement the course, as they help revising the MOOC and obtain the certificate.
