| Joining the Dots: Species and Protected Areas - A contribution to the implementation of the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas | |
| 2006 Full Book | |
The Convention on Biological Diversity's Programme of Work on Protected Areas, agreed in 2004, is a positive coordinated means for governments to further improve their networks of protected areas. An effective network of protected areas needs to have a clear focus and targets, to be connected, to be well managed and regularly monitored. Protected areas should be planned over large areas so that they can be an integral part of our landscapes. They should also include the needs of communities and fit with land use and development plans, if they are to be sustainable. By ensuring that species are an integral part of planning and management of protected areas, as both targets and indicators, we can ensure that the implementation of the Programme of Work on Protected Areas is successful in producing these kinds of effective protected area networks. This report, through a series of detailed case studies, demonstrates how this has already worked - successfully - for many member states, and provides concrete examples that can be extrapolated elsewhere. |
