Social Impact of Conservation

The ‘Healthy Parks, Healthy People Globalarrow-up-right’ initiative is a prime example of the research which is supported at a high level by National Parks Services in USA, South Africa and Australia. Additional projects such as ‘Rethinking Parksarrow-up-right’ from Nesta in the UK also feature significant research which points to the many social benefits.

Social benefits could be grouped as:

  • Building Stewardship [111]

  • Building Community [112]

  • Building Physical and Mental Health & Wellbeing [113]

  • Fostering Creativity and Innovation [114] [115]

  • Pro-social Behaviour [116]
