Issue 29(1) May, 2023
In this issue we pay tribute to Dr Kathy MacKinnon, a former Chair of WCPA and a true champion for protected areas and nature conservation who died unexpectedly in March this year. Kathy will be greatly missed by her WCPA and IUCN ‘family’. PARKS has a new design and production process that we introduced in this issue. This will help make production of the journal easier and more efficient and ensure we can keep PARKS as a open access, online, peer-reviewed journal without author charges.
