Trends in protected and conserved areas
In 2022, two major regional congresses on protected and conserved areas, the 2nd Asia Parks Congress and the inaugural IUCN Africa Protected Areas Congress, were convened in Sabah, Malaysia and Rwanda, respectively.These well-attended and highly inclusive congresses were significant milestones for setting regional priorities for the next decade, and for preparing for CBD COP15, highlighting conservation successes, challenges and opportunities and…
Vital sites
The COVID-19 pandemic presents both challenges and opportunities for nature conservation. This paper reviews the social and economic values of protected and conserved areas-in water supply, food security, carbon storage, climate change adaptation, and human health. IUCN is well placed to advocate for a green recovery with protected and conserved areas playing a critical role as cost-effective nature-based solutions, along with better ecosystem ma…
Speaking a common language on what should count for protecting 30% by 2030
Increases in area-based conservation are essential to halt biodiversity loss
Protected and conserved areas
In 2010, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, committing to conserve, by 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland waters and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas through systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). Once national data are updated it is expected that Parties will have met the coverage elements of Target 11, especially…
A review of evidence for area‐based conservation targets for the post‐2020 global biodiversity framework
Our review of the scientific evidence for large-scale percentage area conservation targets concluded: 1
The IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas
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)
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…
