      abstract = {This book argues that legal geography provides new  insights into contemporary conservation challenges. Despite  unprecedented efforts, we are facing an extinction crisis,  and in situ protected area programs are falling short. This  book discusses the protected area phenomenon and calls for  changes to current approaches, informed by legal geography  an inter-disciplinary area focused on the intertwined  peopleplacelaw dynamics that enable, or disable, effective  management practices. The book examines two protected area  types: World Heritage Sites, where places of outstanding  universal value are protected for all humanity, and Ramsar  protected wetland sites, one of the first global  environmental protection initiatives. Using case studies  from the Australasian region (Australia, the Pacific and  Southeast Asia), it reveals how current approaches can be  improved by taking into account the peopleplacelaw nexus  embedded in legal geography research. Josephine Gillespie  is an academic, and former lawyer, based at the University  of Sydney, Australia. She is an environmental legal  geographer interested in the complex intersection of  geography and law. Her research investigates environmental  protection and humanenvironment geographies throughout  Australia and the Asia-Pacific. .},
