This article employs political ecology and common property theory to examine sea turtle conservation, how it is articulated and executed at different sociopolitical and geographic scales, and the consequences for local rights of access to resources. It draws on ten years of research at various field sites in Costa Rica, and on sea turtle conservation policy in general, to show that although mos...

The January 2011 Special Issue is the first major compilation of studies on systematic conservation planning in fresh waters (Turak & Linke, 2011). The papers in this Special Issue consolidate freshwater conservation planning as a field within both conservation science and freshwater ecology. This progress is largely a result of key advances in both disciplines (Linke, Turak & Nel, 2011). Many ...
