Protected areas

Protected Landscapes (IUCN Protected Area Category V) are lived-in working landscapes. In the past, there has been a tendency to see them as a rather Eurocentric approach to protected areas but increasingly the category is being designated in other parts of the world, including in a number of developing countries. The Guidelines include sections on the background and on the planning of such areas, and chapters on the principles, policies, process and the means for their management.

A Management Plan is a document which sets out the management approach and goals, together with a framework for decision making, to apply in a specific protected area over a given period of time. Critical to the plan is the widest possible consultation with stakeholders and the development of objectives that can be agreed and adhered to by all who have an interest in the use and ongoing survival of the area concerned.

The World Heritage Convention is a principal protection mechanism available to recognise and protect the very best marine sites around the globe. A key step to targeted application of the Convention has now been made by the creation of the Bahrain Action Plan for marine World Heritage.

Les Territoires Autochtones de Conservation et les Aires du Patrimoine Autochtone et Communautaire — en bref, les APAC — font l'objet d'une Note d'information de l'UICN/CEESP présentée à la réunion SBSTTA de la CBD en mai 2010. Ce document plus complet expose les exemples et analyses à l'origine des recommandations contenues dans ladite Note d'information. Ce document peut être lu conjointement à la Note, mais aussi indépendamment, car les principaux concepts y sont redéfinis.

Los territorios indígenas de conservación y las áreas conservadas por pueblos indígenas y comunidades locales — ICCA para abreviar — son el tema de una Nota Informativa de la UICN/CEESP presentada en el CDB SBSTTA en mayo de 2010. El presente documento, más largo, ofrece algunos ejemplos y análisis que sustentan la asesoría sobre políticas contenida en esa Nota Informativa.

Indigenous conservation territories and areas conserved by indigenous peoples and local communities — ICCAs for short — are the subject of an IUCN/CEESP Briefing Note launched at CBD SBSTTA in May 2010. This larger document provides the examples and analysis underlying the policy advice contained in that Briefing Note. The document can be read in conjunction with the Briefing Note or as a stand-alone, as main concepts are described again here.

Se espera que la presente Nota Informativa los oriente de manera sensible y respetuosa teniendo en cuento los muchos temas involucrados. Contiene hechos fundamentales acerca de las ICCA, sintetiza lecciones aprendidas, y ofrece recomendaciones para los gobiernos qui implementan el Programa de Trabajo sobre Áreas Protegidas del CDB (PoWPA).
