Résumé

Contents: It has long been recognised that the ecosystems and landscape values of protected areas can be damaged by events outside the protected area boundary. The use of buffer zones has often been suggested as a means of combating external threats, but there is little agreement as to how buffer zones should be planned and implemented. This paper puts forward a model ' Buffer Zone Planning ' method, outlining the principles involved, describing the practical steps necessary to undertake such a method and giving examples from case studies in Poland and Australia. The legal and institutional requirements necessary for the success of buffer zone planning are discussed.The authors suggest that a rigorous yet flexible approach to buffer zone planning will produce the greatest benefits for protected areas
