  • Protected and conserved area effectiveness

    Open AccessHelen Klimmek, Heather C Bingham et al.ARTICLEPARKS2026

    Increasing the extent of protected and conserved areas (PCAs), without ensuring these areas are effectively conserving biodiversity, is insufficient to achieve global conservation targets. At the site level, assessing effectiveness is an important part of adaptive management and a wide range of tools have been developed for this purpose. Collating effectiveness data at the global level is important for tracking progress towards Target 3 of the Ku…

  • Non-State Rangers

    Open AccessHannah L Timmins, Michael Appleton et al.ARTICLEPARKS2026

    Rangers are widely recognised as essential actors in conserving biodiversity, cultural heritage and the rights and well-being of present and future generations. Yet global ranger discourse and policy frameworks have largely focused on state-employed personnel operating within formally designated protected areas. Across Indigenous territories, community conserved areas, other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), privately protected …

  • Shifting foundations

    Open AccessNicole Dudley, Julia Gorricho et al.ARTICLEPARKS2025

    Protected and conserved areas are already helping society – and the planet – to both mitigate and adapt to anthropogenic climate change. These important roles were highlighted to governments at the 2015 Paris meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as they considered the ever increasing set of challenges posed by the rapidly changing climate. But much has changed over the past decade, in ways that both strengthen and undermine t…

  • Wildlife’s contributions to people

    Open AccessHannah L Timmins, Sue Stolton et al.ARTICLEPARKS2025

    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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Covid-19, Indigenous peoples, local communities and natural resource governance

    Open AccessGretchen Walters, Neema Pathak Broome et al.ARTICLEPARKS2021

    We report on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs), especially those who govern, manage and conserve their lands and waters. We explore the themes of access and use of natural resources, solidarity, decision-making, the role of governments and IPLCs in managing COVID-19, and the uptake of traditional medicine. These themes are explored through a global online survey in English, Spanish and French.…

  • Equitable and effective area-based conservation

    Open AccessHarry D Jonas, Gabby N Ahmadia et al.ARTICLEPARKS2021

    In 2018, the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted a decision on protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). It contains the definition of an OECM and related scientific and technical advice that has broadened the scope of governance authorities and areas that can be engaged and recognised in global conservation efforts. The voluntary guidance on OECMs and protected areas, also included …

    A new report from the Convention on Biological Diversity details 36 case studies highlighting tangible benefits which contribute to local livelihoods and conservation management costs from individual conservation areas worldwide.The study focuses on direct economic gains linked to biodiversity which do not undermine the area's conservation objectives.One unexpected finding from the research was the lack of standards for reporting the economic ben…

  • Speaking a common language on what should count for protecting 30% by 2030

    Open AccessStephen Woodley, Madhu Rao et al.ARTICLEPARKS2021

    Increases in area-based conservation are essential to halt biodiversity loss

  • Engaging End-Users to Maximise Uptake and Effectiveness of a New Species Recovery Assessment

    Open AccessMolly K Grace, Hannah L Timmins et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2021

    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

    Open AccessSean Maxwell, Sean L Maxwell et al.ARTICLENature2020

    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 …

  • The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030)

    Open AccessNicole Dudley, Emily Gonzalez et al.ARTICLEPARKS2020

    Those developing the forthcoming UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration stress the importance of ecosystem conservation whilst addressing the need to reverse ongoing losses to biodiversity and ecosystem services that have serious impacts on human livelihoods. We suggest six ways in which area-based conservation (protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures) could play a key role in the decade: 1. Best practice in restoration w…

  • How effective are Tiger conservation areas at managing their sites against the Conservation Assured | Tiger Standards (CA|TS)

    Open AccessNicole Dudley, Sue Stolton et al.ARTICLEPARKS2020

    A global pledge to double wild Tiger populations by 2022 has focused attention on the need for effective conservation management. Conservation Assured | Tiger Standards (CA|TS) was established to identify good management standards for Tigers and promote these within Tiger conservation areas (TCAs). The study reported here assessed TCA management against a simplified version of CA|TS to uncover potential shortfalls in management and provide recomm…

  • Towards a typological framework for area-based conservation

    Open AccessElise M S Belle, Heather Bingham et al.ARTICLEPARKS2020

    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)

    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…

  • Core principles for successfully implementing and upscaling Nature-based Solutions

    Open AccessEmmanuelle Cohen-Shacham, Angela Andrade et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2019Citada por: 65Referências: 6

    Despite substantial increases in the scope and magnitude of biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration, there remains ongoing degradation of natural resources that adversely affects both biodiversity and human well-being. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be an effective framework for reversing this trend, by increasing the alignment between conservation and sustainable development objectives. However, unless there is clarity on its evol…

  • Towards future-oriented conservation

    Open AccessLorrae Van Kerkhoff, Claudia Munera et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2019Citada por: 3Referências: 39

    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 …
