Protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are important to stop the global decline in biodiversity.

Les Zones clés pour la biodiversité (KBA) sont des sites qui contribuent de manière significative à la persistance de la biodiversité mondiale. Les Lignes directrices pour l’utilisation d’un Standard mondial pour l’identification des Zones clés pour la biodiversité ont pour visée d’assur

Essas diretrizes abordam o planejamento e a gestão de áreas sob proteção privada (ou PPAs) e as diretrizes são direcionadas principalmente aos profissionais e formuladores de políticas, que estão ou podem estar envolvidos com PPAs.

Connectivity conservation is essential for managing healthy ecosystems, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change across all biomes and spatial scales.

These guidelines address planning and management of privately protected areas (PPAs) and the guidance is aimed principally at practitioners and policy makers, who are or may be involved with PPAs.

Estas Diretrizes destinam-se a ajudar a melhorar a conservação e gestão do patrimônio geológico e da geodiversidade em áreas protegidas e a promover o reconhecimento das inter-relações e interações com aspectos e processos biológicos.

These Guidelines are intended to help improve the conservation and management of geoheritage and geodiversity in protected and conserved areas and recognition of the interrelationships and interactions with biological features and processes.

The Protected Areas Benefits Assessment Tool+ (PA-BAT+) aims to collate and assess information about the overall benefits from conservation and protection in protected areas. It can also be used in other area-based conservation sites.

Protected areas are a key component of any global conservation strategy. Tourism provides a crucial and unique way of fostering visitors’ connection with protected area values, making it a potentially positive force for  conservation.
