Initiative I0038

Résumé
In 2006 UNEP-WCMC (World Conservation Monitoring Centre) developed a project concept, named ‘Vision 2020’, whose aim is to establish a process for the periodic assessment of the biodiversity value, management effectiveness and human impact of a subset of the World’s protected areas, so as to improve our understanding of the role of protected areas in conservation and development processes and how this is evolving over time. The exact methods for carrying out this project will be developed and tested during the first phase of the project, but it is anticipated that there will be essentially four components:
- Identification of protected areas to be included
- Ecological integrity of the identified protected areas
- Management effectiveness of the identified protected areas
- Human impact of the identified protected areas
This project will be carried out with a range of partner organizations, including IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, IUCN Conservation for Poverty Reduction Initiative and the UNEP, FAO, CGIAR initiative on poverty mapping. More partners will be identified during the initial development phase of the project.
Rendement
1. A baseline research aimed at assessing what methodologies and indicators have been developed so far to assess the human impacts of Protected Areas, and who has been working on this topic.
2. The organisation of a workshop, called ‘Vision 2020’, to be held in Cambridge (UK) on the 20th and 21st of February 2007, which will focus on methodologies and indicators for the assessment of the socio-economic impacts of PAs in the context of the Vision 2020 project concept. Both these activities have been carried out in partnership with the Secretariat of the Poverty and Conservation Learning Group (PCLG).
