Owning nature: mapping the contested country of private protected areas

该项目旨在改善澳大利亚私人保护区的公共利益。土著和其他社区、土地所有者、政府、慈善家和企业率先在私有土地上进行自然保护。一项跨不同案例的创新和跨学科研究设计将为私人保护区的社会驱动因素、影响和未来途径提供知识。这将为指导政策和治理提供证据，以整合自然保护和社会正义成果，并增强私有土地收益的可持续性。

This project aims to improve public good outcomes from private protected areas in Australia. Nature conservation on private land is being pioneered by Indigenous and other communities, landholders, governments, philanthropists and businesses. An innovative and interdisciplinary research design across diverse cases will provide knowledge of social drivers, impacts and future pathways for private protected areas. This will provide evidence that can guide policy and governance to integrate nature conservation and social justice outcomes, and enhance the sustainability of benefits from private lands.
