Based on the "conservation finance" workshops at the IVth World Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas (Caracas, 1992), Paying for Parks is a guide to conservation finance for the full range of interested parties: ranging from small nongovernmental organizations that need a few thousand dollars to national agencies with needs in the multimillions, and to the donors and loaners to whom they turn for assistance.
