Protected Area Technical Report Series

Les autres mesures de conservation efficaces par zone (AMCEZ) concernent les sites situés en dehors des aires protégées qui assurent une conservation in situ efficace et à long terme de la biodiversité. La conservation peut être l’objectif principal du site, un objectif secondaire d’un site géré à d’autres fins, ou encore une conséquence involontaire de la manière dont le site est géré.

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. However, a growing number of solutions are available for overcoming these challenges, balancing the social and economic benefits of LTI development with ecological well-being.

In November 2018, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted at the 14th Conference of the Parties a definition of an "other effective area-based conservation measure" (OECM) as well as guiding principles, common characteristics and criteria for identification of OECMs (CBD/COP/DEC/14/8). OECMs may be managed for many different objectives but they must deliver effective conservation. They may be managed with conservation as a primary or secondary objective or long-term conservation may simply be the ancillary result of management activities.

Em novembro de 2018, tal situação foi resolvida quando, na COP 14 da CDB, as Partes adotaram uma definição de “outra medida efetiva de conservação baseada em área”, bem como os princípios orientadores, as características comuns e os critérios para a identificação das OMECs (CDB/COP/ DEC/14/8). As OMECs podem ser geridas visando vários objetivos diferentes, mas devem apresentar resultados efetivos de conservação. Nas OMECs, a conservação pode ser um objetivo principal ou secundário ou a conservação em longo prazo pode ser simplesmente um resultado complementar das atividades de gestão.

En noviembre del 2018, en la 14ª Convención de los Miembros del CDB, los participantes adoptaron una definición de “otras medidas efectivas de conservación basadas en áreas” (OMEC), y determinaron sus principios rectores, características comunes y criterios para su identificación (CDB/COP/ DEC/14/8). Estas pueden ser gestionadas con objetivos diferentes, pero deben obtener resultados efectivos de conservación. En ellas, la conservación a largo plazo es un objetivo primario, secundario o, incluso, simplemente un resultado subisidiario de la gestión del área.

A medida que la cobertura global de las áreas protegidas se acerca al 20% de la superficie ter estre y al 10% de la superficie del ma , cada vez más personas, agencias y comunidades son responsables de salvaguardar el patrimonio natural y el cultural asociado en el planeta. El registro global de competencias para gestores de áreas protegidas define todas las habilidades, conocimientos y cualidades personales posibles requeridos por las personas que trabajan en áreas protegidas en todo el mundo.

En novembre 2018, les Parties à la CDB ont adopté, à l’occasion de la 14e Conférence des Parties, une définition du terme « autre mesure de 

The Protected Areas Benefits Assessment Tool+ (PA-BAT+) aims to collate and assess information about the overall benefits from conservation and protection in protected areas. It can also be used in other area-based conservation sites. This technical guidance provides a quick overview of why understanding the benefits from protected areas is important, provides a detailed guide to using the PA-BAT+ and explains how to understand and use the results.
