Sandra Slater-Jones contributes an article to this issue of the journal on the relationship between transfrontier park managers, policy makers and resident indigenous populations. She emphasizes the importance of cooperation between countries and protected area managers in transboundary parks, and a greater awareness of local, human issues. Linda Moffat writes a very interesting article on adventure racing in the wild, a use of wildlands that is under much scrutiny. She provides perspectives from adventure racers to create a balanced story of the impacts and benefits of adventure racing on protected areas. Other topics include:

  • Courage for Wilderness
  • Wilderness Near Urban Areas
  • Aspects of Use Conflicts
  • Wilderness in Europe, Canada, Africa & Hong Kong
