Description and results/achievements of activities:
The Protected Planet Report, drafted in 2020, which reports on progress towards the CBD’s target 11, highlights the problems caused by under-reporting of PPAs. The report recommends that PPAs (and privately governed OECMs) be better integrated into the CBD’s post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken
We continue to build on the 2018 achievement of producing IUCN Guidelines for Privately Protected Areas by bringing the material out to wider audiences. This is taking the form of offering training events, developing online training materials, translating the Guidelines into multiple languages, and providing advice on PPAs to governments, NGOs, landholders and others on request. This has contributed to growth in the capacity for and extent of PPAs. The term "privately protected area"--formalized in the 2016 resolution--continues to grow in acceptance.
