This article studies the internationalization of terrestrial nature protection and the associated international governance structures. The management of natural resources has traditionally been a prerogative of sovereign states, with little involvement of international institutions.1 One long-standing and very significant modification to this starting point has been international cooperation regarding terrestrial protected areas. The present focus shall be on the evolving international regulatory and institutional frameworks for national protected area policy.
