IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA)

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites outside protected areas that deliver effective and long-term in situ conservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity conservation may be the primary objective of the site, a secondary objective of a site that is managed for other purposes, or it may be an unintended consequence of the way the site is managed.

The development of linear transport infrastructure (LTI) can have a variety of direct and indirect impacts on protected and conserved areas (PCAs) and other intact areas with high biodiversity and ecological connectivity values. Poorly planned and constructed roads, railways and canals can sever habitats, disrupt ecosystems and threaten species.

Áreas Clave para la Biodiversidad (KBA) son sitios que contribuyen significativamente a la persistencia global de biodiversidad. El objeto de las Directrices para el uso de Un Estándar Global para la Identificación de Áreas Clave para la Biodiversidad (en adelante las Directrices KBA) es asegurar que la identificación de KBA se base en métodos consistentes, científicamente rigurosos pero prácticos.

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’assurer que l’identification des KBA est basée sur des méthodes cohérentes, scientifiquement rigoureuses mais pratiques. Les Lignes directrices KBA présentent les étapes d’identification et de dé

Connectivity conservation is essential for managing healthy ecosystems, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change across all biomes and spatial scales. Well-connected ecosystems support a diversity of ecological functions such as migration, hydrology, nutrient cycling, pollination, seed dispersal, food security, climate resilience and disease resistance.

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.

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. The purpose of the Guidelines for using A Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas is to ensure that KBA identification is based on consistent, scientifically rigorous yet practical methods.

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. Orientação é dada em todos os aspectos do estabelecimento, gestão e comnunicação da PPA, e são fornecidas informações sobre princípios e melhores práticas, com exemplos retirados de muitas partes diferentes do mundo.
