Summary of ENVISION Deliverable 5.3: Decision-making toolbox for inclusive conservation in protected areas

This report is a summary of ENVISION Deliverable 5.3, a toolbox which introduces a set of participatory action-research tools to help protected areas managers and practitioners enhance social engagement in conservation decision-making by identifying, navigating and balancing visions, tensions, and power relations between stakeholders. The toolbox has been co-created in the context of the ENVISION project between scientists and protected areas managers to support the development of socially inclusive policies and management actions in protected areas, and it is based on the approaches developed in four protected areas in Europe and U.S.A.: Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, Spain; Västra Harg Nature Reserve; Sweden; Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park, and Kromme Rijn region, Netherlands; Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, U.S.A.
