Therefore, effective, and equitable management and operation of these areas are crucial for conserving their biodiversity. Guidelines for evaluating the management effectiveness of protected areas have been developed, and their impact is widespread around the world. These guidelines serve as a means to adapt and replan the components of ecosystems and vital processes, addressing the increasing pressures on reserves.
