Parks Stewardship Forum
The Interdisciplinary Journal of Place-based Conservation

Co-published by the University of California, Berkeley, Institute for Parks, People, and Biodiversity and the George Wright Society.

Parks Stewardship Forum explores innovative thinking and offers enduring perspectives on critical issues of place-based heritage management and stewardship. Interdisciplinary in nature, the journal gathers insights from all fields related to parks, protected areas, cultural sites, and other place-based forms of conservation. The scope of the journal is international and dedicated to the legacy of George Meléndez Wright, a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and pioneer in conservation of national parks. Parks Stewardship Forum continues The George Wright Forum, published 1981–2018 by the George Wright Society.

The Co-Publishers

The University of California, Berkeley, Institute for Parks, People, and Biodiversity advances science and solutions to halt climate change, conserve biodiversity, and improve the experience of nature for all. The Institute conducts new scientific research and helps managers and policymakers apply the results to conservation of ecosystems around the world, especially in national parks and other protected areas.

Public protection of land and water serves important roles for climate change resilience and carbon solutions, endangered species, tropical forests, health and well-being, education, thriving economies, Indigenous cultures, and environmental justice. For these critical issues and other emerging questions, the Institute connects field managers and government policymakers to the high-level interdisciplinary research capabilities of the University of California, Berkeley. Institute researchers also communicate science-based solutions to motivate public action and cultivate future conservation leaders. With new scientific insights, the Institute aims to advance meaningful progress for nature and people.

The George Wright Society advances the scientific and heritage values of parks and protected areas. The Society promotes research and resource stewardship across cultural and natural disciplines; brings practitioners together to share their expertise; provides avenues of communication among scholars, researchers, educators, practitioners, and the public about the importance of parks and protected areas, and supports informed conservation decisions and management actions that embrace these values. By uniting people from many different backgrounds around a common passion for protecting Earth’s natural and cultural heritage, GWS creates the collaboration needed to meet today’s greatest conservation challenges.
