Science and Management of Protected Areas Association

The Science and Management of Protected Areas Association is an organization similar to the George Wright Society which is based in Canada. They hold a triennial international conference on science and protected areas (next: May 2003--see link below) where papers on all aspects of scientific management of PAs are presented.
