Growing effective conservation management: celebrating advances and recognizing challenges to conservation quality and permanence for 30×30
Small Room
Pew Charitable Trusts presents expanding support for effective management is the necessary complement to growth in protected area coverage towards 30x30. Cooperative efforts among funders, NGOs, and government agencies in Latin America are demonstrating important advances, but consolidating and bringing these efforts to scale remains a challenge.
Target 3, also called 30×30, is generally recognised by the % coverage of protected areas and OMECs in the surface of a given country. However, it is known that the creation of protected areas is not sufficient to ensure conservation objectives and the implementation of effective management is key to achieving conservation of these areas. This panel brings experiences from different initiatives spanning diverse geographies and scales to address how we ensure the quality of conservation and its permanence for the 30×30 target and beyond. Cases will be presented from founding and implementation perspectives from across latin america and see how practice supports the advancement of effective management. The aim will be to understand approaches to achieving quality conservation and permanence, lessons learned, challenges and recommendations for other efforts to implement effective management of PAs and OMECs
