[wanabidii] Protected Planet Report 2012: Tracking progress towards global targets for protected areas

Friday, January 04, 2013

The Protected Planet Report was recently launched at the IUCN World Conservation Congress.  The Report is the first edition in a series that will be produced on a biannual basis to evaluated progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, which requires at least 17% of the world's terrestrial areas and 10% of the world's marine areas to be effectively, and equitably protected and managed by 2020. The report utilises information from three indicators brought together under the Biodiversity Indicators Partnership; Coverage of protected areas, protected area overlays with biodiversity and Management effectiveness of protected areas.

The report also reveals a profound shift in areas critical to the success of protected areas, such as management and governance arrangements. Nearly half of the world's protected areas are within sustainable-use areas and protected landscapes / seascapes, and nearly a quarter are managed by non-governmental actors or under co-management arrangements, often with indigenous peoples or local communities.
