Guidelines

The Framework for management effectiveness developed by the IUCN World Commission for Protected Areas was published in the first version of this Best Practice Guideline. It is further explained and interpreted, although not substantially altered, in this version. A number of key guidelines for good practice in evaluation are presented from many practitioners around the world, and important needs and directions for the future are identified.

This book was published as part of an extensive dialogue between the International Council for Mining and Metals and the World Conservation Union (IUCN), which was set up to explore different aspects of biodiversity conservation in the mining and metals sector.
