  • Developing an outcomes-based approach to achieving Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework

    Open AccessNicole Dudley, Nigel Dudley et al.ARTICLEPARKS2022

    The draft Global Biodiversity Framework proposes to increase protected areas and OECMs to at least 30 per cent of land and ocean by 2030 (30x30). Such areas are central to conservation, but only if effectively managed and equitably governed. In practice, governments often recognise areas that do not achieve successful outcomes or respect human rights and fail to recognise other effective governance systems. We argue that protected areas and OECMs…

  • Marine protected and conserved areas in the time of Covid

    Open AccessCarol Phua, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEPARKS2021

    The intersection of potential global targets and commitments for ocean conservation with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted in an opportunity to rethink the future of marine area-based conservation tools, particularly for marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs). As MPCAs continue to provide essential ecological, social and economic services, current approaches to establishing and managing these areas require an understanding of the f…

  • The IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas

    Open AccessMarc Hockings, James Hardcastle et al.ARTICLEPARKS2019

    The IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas is the first global sustainability standard describing best practice for area-based conservation. The standard is organised around four components -Good Governance, Sound Design and Planning, Effective Management and Successful Conservation Outcomes -subdivided into 17 criteria and 50 indicators. IUCN manages a 'Green List' of protected and conserved areas through a certification process that e…

  • Lessons learned from 18 years of implementing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (Mett)

    Open AccessSue Stolton, Nicole Dudley et al.ARTICLEPARKS2019

    Understanding the successes and failures of management of protected areas is vital for the conservation of global biodiversity. The Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) is a simple, questionnaire-based approach for assessing protected area management effectiveness (PAME). Since it was developed in 1999, it has become the most widely applied PAME tool, used in at least 127 countries worldwide. This paper reviews the development of the MET…

  • Priorities for protected area research

    Open AccessNicole Dudley, Marc Hockings et al.ARTICLEPARKS2018

    A hundred research priorities of critical importance to protected area management were identified by a targeted survey of conservation professionals; half researchers and half practitioners. Respondents were selected to represent a range of disciplines, every continent except Antarctica and roughly equal numbers of men and women. The results analysed thematically and grouped as potential research topics as by both practitioners and researchers. P…

  • Integrated Measures of Indigenous Land and Sea Management Effectiveness

    Open AccessBeauJ Austin, Cathy Robinson et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2018

    As partnerships between Indigenous peoples and conservation practitioners mature, new methods are being sought to assess their effectiveness. The increasing diversity of income sources mobilised by Indigenous land and sea managers in Australia is intensifying the pressures on them to demonstrate their 'effectiveness' through a range of frameworks, tools and criteria. In this review, we use Indigenous land and sea management in Australia as a lens…

  • A preliminary assessment of protected area management within the WWF ‘Coastal East Africa’ priority place, Eastern Africa

    Open AccessKathryn Knights, Ivon Cuadros et al.ARTICLEPARKS2014

    We studied the effectiveness of protected area management within a Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) priority place for conservation investment, located in the coastal areas of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. At least 473 sites in this region have completed Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) assessments since 2003, often associated with Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded projects, but also through work funded by other donors and WW…

  • Bush Doctors and Wild Medicine”

    Leif Petersen, Leif M Petersen et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2014Cited by: 5References: 5

    South Africa's organically emerged cultural business of traditional healing is almost exclusively reliant on wild-harvested resources extracted from wilderness areas or open-access commons. The wild medicine business has been described for much of South Africa, although is little understood in Cape Town, the urban centerpiece of the Cape Floristic Region (CFR). A census of different traditional healer typologies in five typical working-class resi…

  • A draft code of practice for research and monitoring in protected areas

    Open AccessMarc Hockings, William Adams et al.ARTICLEPARKS2013

    Protected areas are favoured sites for ecological research and monitoring and responsible, well-managed research can help to improve management effectiveness and enhance conservation outcomes. Many countries have formalized processes for approving and monitoring research within their protected area systems. There are already a number of codes addressing ethical and social issues with respect to research in protected areas, sacred natural sites an…

  • Progress towards the CBD protected area management effectiveness targets

    Open AccessLauren Coad, Fiona Leverington et al.ARTICLEPARKS2013

    The management effectiveness of protected areas is a critically important consideration for their conservation success. Over 40 different protected area management effectiveness (PAME) data collection tools have been developed to systematically assess protected area management effectiveness. Many of these assessments have recently been collated into the Global IUCN Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) database. We use the PAME database …

  • Changes in Elephant Ownership and Employment in the Lao PDR

    Ingrid Suter, Ingrid C Suter et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2013

    Communities in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) have been utilizing captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) for centuries. The elephant handler (mahout) profession has remained fundamentally unchanged. Captive elephants, however, are no longer necessary in roles where they were once considered vital, particularly the logging industry. To gauge mahout demographics and assess problems associated with elephant industries, we surveyed 133…

  • Maximizing conservation evaluation utilization

    Open AccessChris Jacobson, R W Carter et al.ARTICLEEvaluation2011Cited by: 2References: 8

    Evaluation utilization in conservation management emphasizes the use of ‘appropriate’ information from the perspective of an expert provider. An alternative is to emphasize the information needs of recipients. Doing so ensures evaluation information is relevant to expected users and uses. The authors worked with an Australian conservation management agency to address barriers associated with engagement and ensuring relevance to the recipient’s sp…

  • Global Biodiversity

    Open AccessStuart H M Butchart, Matt Walpole et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Global Biodiversity Target Missed In 2002, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) committed to a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. There has been widespread conjecture that this target has not been met. Butchart et al. (p. 1164 , published online 29 April) analyzed over 30 indicators developed within the CBD's framework. These indicators include the condition or state of biodiversity (e.g., species numbers, pop…

  • What Constitutes Success in Pacific Island Community Conserved Areas

    Open AccessJoanna C Axford, Marc Hockings et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2008Cited by: 1

    In recent years, few if any community conserved areas (CCAs) in the Pacific island region have been regarded as being successful. However, as success is rarely defined, what constitutes "success" is not clear. This paper reports an investigation into the way "outsiders" perceive success in Pacific island CCAs. An exploratory survey revealed six umbrella themes of success: the locus of control; local benefits; resource aspects; management; externa…
