Framing the relationship between people and nature in the context of European conservation [PDF]

, 2015
A key controversy in conservation is the framing of the relationship between people and nature. The extent to which the realms of nature and human culture are viewed as separate (dualistic view) or integrated is often discussed in the social sciences. To
