Protected Area Technical Report Series

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.

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.

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.

Las áreas bajo protección privada merecen un reconocimiento y respaldo mucho mayores que el que reciben en este momento.

Privately protected areas deserve far greater recognition and support than is the case at the moment. Private conservation efforts can often fill important gaps in national policies in terms of both geographic cover and speed of response to conservation challenges, yet they remain a hidden resource: ignored by governments, omitted from international conservation reporting mechanisms and left out of regional conservation strategies.
