N2 - This chapter discusses the diversity of concepts and values of 'nature'. It provides a background to the Western Enlightenment construct of 'nature' and examines the ways in which this worldview has historically shaped the designation, management, and governance of protected areas-with particular reference to the perspectives and work of the IUCN. We also consider why a Western concept of nature as separate or contrary continues to be applied, but equally the ways in which diverse worldviews-expressed in language and religion, for example-are re-shaping conservation practice. We conclude by discussing the opportunities and challenges that recognising and integrating diverse concepts and values of nature has for the conservation community.
