Abstract
Although governance of protected areas (PAs) is, most commonly, realized regionally and locally, it is expected to improve the state of biodiversity at national and European levels. Therefore linking regional governance, local implementation and Europe-wide evaluation, requires a careful consideration of various scales and interactions between them. As functioning of PAs is often in conflict with current socio-economic development, their governance needs to be considered in economic, political, cultural and historical contexts as well as in relation to competition and cooperation with other sectors. PAs governance also becomes more compound as new tasks such as systematic monitoring, effective science-policy interface and scientific knowledge incorporation should be undertaken. Newly established institutional settings are often required and integration of various instruments (e.g., financial instruments, coexistence of traditional and innovative conservation ideas) is inevitable, yet not often practiced (Cent et al. 2013, Paavola et al. 2009, Paloniemi et al. 2012).
