Abstract:
Biodiversity is life's essence. Protected areas are the core elements of =
any biodiversity conservation strategy because habitat diversity must be =
maintained. As with all jurisdictions in Canada, Nova Scotia's protected =
areas began to be created in a somewhat arbitrary manner, selected =
mostly for recreation and economic benefits. In more recent times, =
conservation science has come to the fore, most notably in the =
wilderness areas program which began in 1992 and has progressed in fits =
and starts since then. Even more recently, a gap-filling approach has =
been taken. Nova Scotia's protected areas system planning process is =
based on fundamental concepts such as: enduring features, =
representivity, habitat, species at risk, and diverse approaches based =
on socio-economic considerations. These diverse approaches have =
included: parks, wilderness areas, nature reserves, buffer zones, =
partnerships, and compromises. The history of the development of Nova =
Scotia's protected areas will be reviewed, and possible future paths =
towards comprehensive protection of the province's biodiversity will be =
discussed.
