Peace Parks | Listening Comprehension Practice

by | Sep 25, 2025 | Listening Comprehension, Peace

Brief Listening-Skills Introduction (Tips)

For lectures like this, listen for the organizational spine: definition → mechanisms → cases → risks → takeaways. Mark signposts (“first,” “by contrast,” “in practice”), and track cause–effect language (“which in turn,” “therefore”). When numbers or labels appear (e.g., carrying capacity, stakeholders, monitoring), star them—exams love testing specific terms and conditions. After listening, compress the main idea into one sentence, then list three mechanisms with short examples to prep for inference questions.

Micro-Introduction to the Topic (Anticipation)

You’ll hear a lecture arguing that Peace Parks—transboundary wildlife corridors jointly governed—turn ecological interdependence into political cooperation. Expect discussion of co-management, biodiversity, tourism value chains, and conflict-sensitive livelihoods, plus cautions about poaching, over-tourism, and unequal benefits.
