  • Protected and conversed areas in a changing world

    Open AccessMadhu Rao, James Fitzsimons et al.ARTICLEPARKS2025

    Much has changed in the ambition for and challenges to protected and conserved areas since the last IUCN World Parks Congress in 2014. As such, the IUCN World Protected and Conserved Areas Congress 2027 (WPC27) will be a critical milestone for global conservation, arriving at a time of ecological urgency and profound societal shifts. WPC27 will be organised around three integrated themes, each designed for their transformative potential: 1) Globa…

  • Clarifying ‘long-term’ for protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (Oecms)

    Open AccessJames Fitzsimons, Sue Stolton et al.ARTICLEPARKS2024

    The concept of ‘long-term’ is a key part of the definitions of both protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). Draft principles for OECMs in Australia developed by the Australian Government propose a minimum period for OECMs of 25 years, where a landholder is not able to commit to in-perpetuity conservation. The proposal suggests this is consistent with IUCN Guidelines for Privately Protected Areas. As authors o…

  • PPA or Oecm? Differentiating between privately protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures on private land

    Open AccessBrent A Mitchell, James Fitzsimons et al.ARTICLEPARKS2018

    Private land conservation has an increasingly important role in ensuring global conservation networks are comprehensive, adequate and representative. To contribute to the Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi Target 11, areas on private land must be either privately protected areas (PPAs) or 'other effective area-based conservation measures' (OECMs) on private land. Here we compare PPAs to OECMs on private land, clarify misconceptions and pr…

  • Privately protected areas

    Open AccessUNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Heather Bingham et al.ARTICLEPARKS2017

    Privately protected areas (PPAs) are increasingly recognized as important conservation initiatives, as evidenced by recent developments that support recognizing and documenting them alongside protected areas under other governance types. Advances in guidance on PPAs have been accompanied by increasing support within international policy arenas, and more PPAs are being reported to the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA). Despite this, nationa…
