Diretrizes para áreas sob proteção privada

Diretrizes para áreas sob proteção privada

Essas diretrizes abordam o planejamento e a gestão de áreas sob proteção privada (ou PPAs) e as diretrizes são direcionadas principalmente aos profissionais e formuladores de políticas, que estão ou podem estar envolvidos com PPAs. Orientação é dada em todos os aspectos do estabelecimento, gestão e comnunicação da PPA, e são fornecidas informações sobre princípios e melhores práticas, com exemplos retirados de muitas partes diferentes do mundo. O objetivo dessas diretrizes é moldar a aplicação da política e dos princípios da UICN em direção ao  aprimoramento da efetividade e dos resultados de conservação, com foco nos gestores e administradores da PPA. Nem toda a orientação será necessariamente aplicada em todos os contextos sociais, políticos e econômicos. Entretanto, o aprendizado com as melhores práticas em todo o mundo e a consideração sobre como elas podem ser incorporadas em nível local ou nacional podem melhorar a probabilidade de sucesso na conservação privada; também podem oferecer sugestões sobre as condições que podem ser melhoradas para favorecer as PPAs e, assim, aproveitar as oportunidades que elas apresentam.

Evaluation économique d'une zone humide : le cas du Diawling, Mauritanie

La présente étude porte sur l’évaluation des principales valeurs économiques générées par la restauration du Parc national du Diawling en République islamique de Mauritanie, zone humide d’importance internationale, à travers une estimation des usages directs de la zone d’influence du parc. L’objectif était de contribuer des informations utiles aux décisions d’aménagement et de gestion durable du parc ainsi qu’à celles relatives au développement de la périphérie, soit du bas delta.

Indigenous and traditional peoples and protected areas

It is sometimes assumed that protected areas must be in conflict with the rights and traditions of indigenous and other traditional peoples on their domains. In reality, where indigenous peoples are interested in the conservation and traditional use of their lands, waters, territories and the natural and cultural resources that they contain, conflicts need not arise. Formal protected areas can provide a means to recognise and guarantee the efforts of many communities who have long protected certain areas, such as sacred groves and mountains. This publication provides a framework for developing partnerships between indigenous and other traditional peoples and protected area managers. It contains a number of case studies giving examples from different parts of the world on successful experiences on the application of these principles

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs)

KBAs are sites that ‘contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems’. KBAs are identified on the basis of species or ecosystems, according to five criteria and 11 subcriteria, all supported by quantitative thresholds. The KBA Global Standard details the criteria and subcriteria. KBA sites must meet one of the criteria and be clearly delineated. Proposed sites are independently reviewed and once accepted are included in the World Database of KBAs.

KBAs are normally identified by a KBA National Coordination Group (NCG). However, anyone with appropriate data may propose a site as a KBA, but they are they are encouraged to work with the NCG if one exists and consultation with relevant stakeholders at the local and national level is required and needs to be documented in the proposal. Where a KBA NCG has not yet been established, proposers submit a site proposal directly.

The Key Biodiversity Areas Partnership is composed of 13 leading international organizations including IUCN. It maintains a KBA Committee, Secretariat, a Technical Working Group, a KBA Consultative Forum, and the World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas. An independent KBA Standards and Appeals Committee has been established under the authority of the elected SSC and WCPA Chairs.

Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECM)

The governments of the world adopted the following definition of an OECM in 2018: “A geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in-situ conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and services and where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socio–economic, and other locally relevant values”. OECMs complement protected areas through sustained, positive conservation outcomes, even though they may be managed primarily for other reasons. These sites are documented in the World Database on OECMs. This definition was only recently adopted and most countries have not yet provided data, but this does not mean that no OECMs exist in those countries. The World Database on OECMs is available on the Protected Planet website.

Integrated Management Effectiveness Tool (IMET)

IMET is a Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) tool that allows an in-depth assessment of marine and terrestrial protected areas, regardless of their management categories and governance type. It is also a decision support tool that helps protected area managers take analysis-based management decisions for improved conservation outcomes.
