- 3 December 2014
It is found that the long-term presence of conservation activities (such as law enforcement, research and tourism) was associated with lower threat impact levels and management effectiveness of several PAs across tropical Africa, and it is concluded that PA management should invest more into conservation activities with long- term duration.
