The present publication offers a suite of tools to support the effectiveness and viability of indigenous peoples and community conserved territories and areas (ICCAs) as governance structures for the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems. This toolkit presents a selection of practical resources, developed by numerous organisations, making them readily accessible to community-based organisations who manage ICCAs.

A background document for the CBD expert workshop. This document reviews the description of each of the scientific criteria and comments on their potential applications, discusses a variety of ways in which the scientific community understands these criteria, and how they can be used as a foundation for informing future decisions regarding the marine environment of the open oceans and deep seas.
