The document discusses how Ontario Provincial Parks promote ecological integrity and recreation/eco-tourism through protecting natural habitats, supporting scientific research and education, allowing compatible recreational activities, and attracting over 10 million visitors annually, 77% of which visit for day use activities while 23% camp overnight. It uses Algonquin Provincial Park, established in 1893, as a case study example of balancing these goals.

Australia's Protected Areas - Caring for CountryRichard Thackway
This presentation is overview of the history of Protected Area development in Australia commencing with an outline of how a national bioregionalization framework for both the terrestrial and marine environments was collaboratively conceived and established. Using this framework, the progress of Australia’s national reserve system (marine and terrestrial) is presented along with its practical, political and policy challenges. This journey, since the early 1990s has seen innovative additions to Australia’s protected area system through the development of Indigenous and private protected areas and with growing protection contributions being made by primary production landholders.

ANALYSIS OF LAND AND VEGETATION COVER DYNAMICS
USING REMOTE SENSING & GIS TECHINIQUES,A CASE
STUDY OF NECHISAR NATIONAL PARK
Abstract
The research aims to analyze the trend of land and vegetation cover dynamics over the period from 1976, 1986 2000 and 2007 thus examine the conservation status of the area and generate
up-to-date land cover map. Information is extracted from various Satellite images of multidated Landsat, ASTER and MODIS images. The Landsat images are the basic remote sensing data to generate the thematic maps which are further analyzed to show the cover dynamics in the park for 24years. All datas from the satellite images are processesed and analyzed using digital image processing techniques. Besides, different vector data are extracted from the images as well as other thematic maps. MODIS-NDVI images are analyzed for the different land cover classes and each vegetation cover seasonal response is compared for the year 2000 and 2005.
The land cover classes identified in the study area from 1976, 1986, 2000 and 2007 are water body, riparian and ground water (GW) forest, wood land, dense bush land, bushy shrubbed grass land, open grass land, degraded grass land, cultivated land, swamp vegetation and bare
land. Rate of land cover change and fragmentation of habitat were discussed for the different
land cover classes. Rate of land cover change, fragmentation index and land cover conversion
matrix clearly shows the dynamics of the different cover classes has happened for the past decades and generally the park conservation status is found to be poor. Bush encroachment in the study area is a major challenge to the park particularly for the grass land and overgrazing
on the Nechisar plain has caused expansion of invasive plants erosion and land degradation.
The community livelihood dependency both in the rural and urban setting is concluded and discussed as a challenge to the park from biodiversity conservation point of view.
Key Words: Land cover dynamics, National park, Vegetation cover, Remote sensing and GIS,
Habitat fragmentation, degradation, biodiversity conservation.

Geotourism and Geoparks, Porongorup, WA by Alan BriggsLeisure Solutions®
Located 50 kilometres north of Albany in the south west of Western Australia, the Porongorup district is a picturesque lifestyle location with significant potential for sustainable tourism development. But what type of tourism? The Porongorup National Park, at the centre of the district and with more than 90,000 annual visitors, is a major nature-based natural attraction featuring a 670 metre granite monadnock and with modern tourism facilities. The Porongorup community asked the question of how to integrate opportunities for ecotourism and yet maintain the existing lifestyles of the community. Opinions were divided and a community forum was held to discuss the way forward. While attending the forum, research data was collected on the community’s views of establishing a Geopark in the district and to gauge community perception of doing so. Geoparks are areas using their significant geological interest to support natural and cultural awareness, education, protection and support sustainable development, and are supported by local communities. This paper will present the background to Geoparks, their potential for development of rural communities and preliminary outcomes from the Porongorup research in terms of tourism potential.

Ontario Parks are special places, allowing you to rekindle your sense of wonder
and solitude. Hundreds of lakes and rivers, thousands of kilometres of hiking
trails, pristine sandy beaches – the therapeutic possibilities are endless.
Restore balance in your life. Watch quietly as a moose grazes in the early
morning mist, toast a marshmallow, learn the canoeing J-stroke, marvel at
the stories told in Aboriginal rock art, or just relax on the beach.
Ontario Parks – the natural therapy.

45. this!” – Mike and Marilyn Hamel
“Connecting with nature … is an exercise in sensory awareness … the sun’s
rays glistening on the water, … the sand between your toes, … smelling the
crispness of the morning air, … hearing the songbirds in the trees and the wind
in the leaves.” – Ann Simard
Mississagi River
“The serenity of nature beckons us so that we can rejuvenate, realign and reconnect
with ourselves … the sounds, sights and smells of nature's grandeur overshadow and
silence the congestion of our daily lives.”– Sandi Lowe
