Summary
Contractual national parks (CNPs) in South Africa and Australia aim to contribute to development whilst continuing to meet conservation objectives. They are managed by the national conservation authority according to the terms of a co-management agreement drawn up by a joint management board usually consisting of representatives from the national conservation authority and the landowners. This study demonstrates the important role that non-quantifiable benefits and costs play in meeting CNP landowner needs. Such benefits are often undervalued due to the focus on more easily measurable conservation and economic/financial benefits, but this study argues that they must be considered by decision makers in order to ensure effective co-management.
