摘要:From the perspective of political ecology and rural geography, the main ideas
about nature and, in parallel, protected areas are reviewed. The initial approach
of nature as wilderness, where the natural environment has not been significantly
modified by society and the human activity changes progressively until the
emergence of the Anthropocene period, where all nature is significantly affected
by human nature. This evolution implies a clear change in the relationship
between nature and society, from a binary relationship, with separate and pure
realities to a fluid and hybrid one, where society and nature are accepted in a
relational manner. These new ideas greatly influence the conception of protected
areas based on the conservation of nature separated from society: to another
where protected areas are conceived in a flexible, multi-natural and more-thanhuman
way. Geographical discipline plays an important role in conceptual
evolution and practice of natural protected areas.
