“SustainParks” is an independent consulting company that deals with research and development regarding spatial planning in nature parks and other protected areas. Its different activities use dynamic-innovation approaches to address the integration of conservation and development functions in protected areas. Informed by environmental, socio-economic, and governance projects, the challenge is to seek emerging conservation needs, partner with other stakeholders collectively, and co-create capacities that support strategic planning, conflict resolution, and evidence-based decision-making in protected areas.
