Wildlife’s contributions to people
Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP) are increasingly incorporated into conservation policy and highlighted in protected area systems and site-management frameworks. Climate instability is a major driver for use of these ecosystem services. Frequently omitted from this discourse is wildlife’s contributions to people (WCP) which has recently been examined and identified as a driving force in pollination services, seed dispersal, carbon and nutri…
Developing an outcomes-based approach to achieving Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework
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…
Engaging End-Users to Maximise Uptake and Effectiveness of a New Species Recovery Assessment
When developing a novel conservation assessment, tradeoffs between generality and precision, and between realism and simplicity, will inevitably need to be made. Engaging potential end-users during development can help developers navigate these tradeoffs to maximise uptake. End-user engagement can also produce feedback about external perceptions, allowing changes to be made prior to the final design. Here, we report on end-user consultations abou…
Area-based conservation in the twenty-first century
Humanity will soon define a new era for nature-one that seeks to transform decades of underwhelming responses to the global biodiversity crisis. Area-based conservation efforts, which include both protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, are likely to extend and diversify. However, persistent shortfalls in ecological representation and management effectiveness diminish the potential role of area-based conservation in …
Towards a typological framework for area-based conservation
Protected areas and other area-based measures are widely accepted as key elements in biodiversity conservation. However, the diversity and inconsistent usage of terms used to describe these measures have often led to confusion. This has sometimes hampered discussions on their role, including in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. Here, we seek to provide some clarification of the most widely used terms describing different measures of ar…
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…
Towards future-oriented conservation
Management of protected areas must adapt to climate impacts, and prepare for ongoing ecological transformation. Future-Proofing Conservation is a dialogue-based, multi-stakeholder learning process that supports conservation managers to consider the implications of climate change for governance and management. It takes participants through a series of conceptual transitions to identify new management options that are robust to a range of possible …
The performance and potential of protected areas
Partnerships for Protection
Taking into consideration the fact that many ecosystems are under-represented in protected areas of land and water and traditional management methods have often been ineffective, this volume describes how improvements can be made. Specifically, it explores ways of ensuring that all major ecosystems are safeguarded, and innovative approaches to conservation involving individuals, communities, companies and governments. The essence of the approach …
Religious following in biodiversity hotspots
Biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation both have moral agendas. World religions have historically advocated ethical and moral codes of conduct, which can be supportive of these objectives. But can religions play a direct role in conservation and development? We examine the potential of religions in facilitating biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation. A quantitative analysis of countries represented within Conservation Intern…
The Links between Protected Areas, Faiths, and Sacred Natural Sites
Most people follow and are influenced by some kind of spiritual faith. We examined two ways in which religious faiths can in turn influence biodiversity conservation in protected areas. First, biodiversity conservation is influenced through the direct and often effective protection afforded to wild species in sacred natural sites and in seminatural habitats around religious buildings. Sacred natural sites are almost certainly the world's oldest f…
Guidelines for applying protected area management categories
IUCN's Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording and classifying protected areas.They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as pos…
