Conservation features of the terrestrial Antarctic Peninsula
Conserving landscapes used by multiple stakeholder groups requires understanding of what each stakeholder values. Here we employed a semi-structured, participatory approach to identify features of value in the terrestrial Antarctic Peninsula related to biodiversity, science and tourism. Stakeholders...

Conserving landscapes used by multiple stakeholder groups requires understanding of what each stakeholder values.
