Protected Area Technical Report Series

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As the global coverage of protected areas increases, it is becoming more important to ensure that today's managers have the necessary qualifications and skills to effectively manage protected areas. This publication defines all the possible skills, knowledge and personal qualities required by people working in protected areas around the world.

Alors que les aires protégées couvrent désormais 20 % des terres de notre planète et 10 % de ses eaux territoriales, de plus en plus d’agences et de communautés sont responsables de la conservation de l’héritage naturel de notre planète, et ainsi de l’héritage culturel qui en découle. La gestion des aires protégées est une tâche de plus en plus exigeante et diverse.
