Abstract
"introduction
Around the globe many countries and jurisdictions are working to develop protected areas strategies. International conventions, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, find Canada endorsing their objectives. The Province of New Brunswick has committed to establishing a network of protected areas by the year 2005. Meeting this commitment will ensure that portions of New Brunswick will be left with little or no human disturbance to help maintain ecological integrity and biological diversity, serve as benchmarks and represent the Province's natural landscape. to help accomplish this goal, in 1997 Dr. Louis LaPierre was commissioned by the Department of Natural Resources and Energy (DNRE) to develop a proposal for a protected areas strategy for New Brunswick."
