在过去的三十年中，保护组织主要通过游说建立公园来尝试保护热带生物多样性。批评者谴责了这一策略，因为公园剥夺了生活在公园周围的穷人宝贵的自然资源。尽管存在争议，但我们对促进在热带地区建立公园的政治和生态条件知之甚少。我们通过分析 63 个热带国家的热带雨林和社会条件数据，概述了这些便利条件。该分析支持公园创建的“反联盟”假设，即破坏森林的威胁引发环保主义者的政治活动，从而导致保护区的创建。通过澄清公园创建的条件，本分析提出了具体情况的指导方针，可以解决有关保护策略的争议。
During the past three decades, conservation groups have tried to conserve tropical biodiversity primarily by lobbying for the creation of parks. Critics have condemned this strategy because parks deny valuable natural resources to poor peoples who live around them. Despite the controversy, we know little about the political and ecological conditions that facilitate the creation of parks in the tropics. We outline these facilitating conditions through analyses of data on tropical rain forests and social conditions in 63 tropical nations. The analysis supports a "countercoalition" hypothesis of park creation in which threats to destroy forests trigger political activity by environmentalists, which results in the creation of reserves. By clarifying the conditions under which park creation occurs, this analysis suggests situation specific guidelines that may resolve the controversy about conservation strategies.
