Résumé
In 2008, a number of partners met to discuss the project concept previously named 'Vision 2020', which aimed to build an understanding of the costs and benefits of protected areas, particularly with regard to human well-being and the livelihoods of communities living within and near these areas. Using opportunities to expand our collective expertise, the partners have met at subsequent meetings in association with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the World Conservation Congress to create a more focused framework for action. A sub-component of Vision 2020 was implemented for the purpose of developing social assessments of protected areas, and thus named SAPA. The first step involved the synthesis of rapid methodologies that are currently being used by conservation initiatives to assess social impacts. This also included a review and scoping of existing indicators that can be used to assess protected areas from the local to global levels. In May 2010, this review was published by the partners and launched at the CBD’s SBSTTA meeting in Nairobi. Next steps include developing a capacity-building manual and training program that allows for site-based application of methodologies based on the needs of protected area managers and other conservation initiatives. This decision-making process will be field tested and used by existing protected areas already applying assessments methods as well as newly established protected areas with no history of social monitoring.
