The Global Study into management effectiveness evaluation was conducted between late 2005 and 2010. In cooperation with many people across the world, we aimed to strengthen the management of protected areas by compiling the existing work on management effectiveness evaluation, reviewing methodologies, finding patterns and common themes in evaluation results, and investigating the most important factors leading to effective management. The aim of the Global Study into protected area management effectiveness was to strengthen management of protected areas by pulling together the good work on this subject, helping the conservation community to share experiences and to find common themes in the study results.
