Protected areas

Estas Diretrizes destinam-se a ajudar a melhorar a conservação e gestão do patrimônio geológico e da geodiversidade em áreas protegidas e a promover o reconhecimento das inter-relações e interações com aspectos e processos biológicos. Não se trata de um livro sobre práticas de gestão de geoconservação, mas antes uma apresentação dos antecedentes, contexto e princípios essenciais.

Increasing interest in measuring, modelling and valuing ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to people, has resulted in the development of an array of ES assessment tools in recent years. Selecting an appropriate tool for measuring and modelling ES can be challenging.

Ces Lignes directrices sont destinées à améliorer la conservation et la gestion du géopatrimoine et de la géodiversité dans les aires protégées et conservées, et à reconnaître les interrelations et interactions avec les caractéristiques et processus biologiques. Elles n’ont pas vocation à être un manuel sur les pratiques de gestion de la géoconservation, mais plutôt à présenter le contexte et les principes de base.

Alongside their contribution to biodiversity conservation, protected and conserved areas are increasingly recognised as important sources of a wide range of benefits, or ecosystem services, that humans gain from intact, natural ecosystems.

This report provides insight into the rationale and feasability of declaring a protected area for the Vjosa Valley, along with the management objectives and associated protected area categories that would ensure the conservation of the area's key values.
