Recent research investigating the relationship between protected areas and sustainable forest management has revealed the need for clarity of language if cooperation is to move forward. Here, we develop a parallel framework to compare the concepts of protected areas and sustainable forest management. We address the challenge inherent in the concept of protected areas as places and sustainable forest management as a process or paradigm. Our framework outlines dominant values, management paradigms, and terms for the places managed under each paradigm. innovative approaches, within different knowledge systems, toward understanding the relationships between protected areas and sustainable forest management. To this end, our project team met several times with various representatives of the protected area and sustainable forest management sectors across Canada during 2008.
