In many places, including within and around protected areas, charcoal production is an important livelihood activity for local communities. It is also one of the major causes of deforestation. This exemplifies the conflicts and tensions that exist between the protection of natural ecosystems and the exploitation of ever-diminishing natural resources, and the need to strike a balance between conservation and sustainable development. This and many related matters will be explored at the IUCN World Parks Congress in Sydney, Australia, in November. The theme of the Congress is Parks, people, planet: inspiring solutions. This issue of Oryx marks the Congress, with a section of articles on Conservation in Protected Areas (see pp. 469–470 and 496–554). (Photograph © Jabruson/NaturePL.com)
