Protected areas

The objective of this study is to develop a vision for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Aoos River Basin, including improving the effectiveness of management and coordination of local protected areas, and develop a roadmap for the final designation of a protected area in accordance with IUCN standards for protected area classification. Key components of the study include analyses of threats to identified environmental

Protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are important to stop the global decline in biodiversity. Systematic site-based monitoring of the state of biodiversity and conservation outcomes is necessary for evidence-based adaptive management in protected areas and OECMs.

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites outside protected areas that deliver effective and long-term in situ conservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity conservation may be the primary objective of the site, a secondary objective of a site that is managed for other purposes, or it may be an unintended consequence of the way the site is managed.

Light pollution is the human-caused alteration of outdoor light levels from those occurring naturally. It threatens ecological and commemorative integrity, interferes with amateur and research astronomy, degrades the appreciation of mythologies and cultural practices related to the night sky, mars wilderness experience and landscape beauty, carries risks to human health and wastes energy. Counterintuitively, excess outdoor lighting reduces safety and security.

This publication provides initial guidance to countries on key enabling tools for attracting public and private sector investments in conservation and how to navigate the process.

Otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en áreas (OMEC) son sitios situados fuera de las áreas protegidas que ofrecen una conservación in situ eficaz y a largo plazo de la biodiversidad. La conservación puede ser el objetivo principal del sitio, un objetivo secundario de un sitio que se gestiona con otros fines, o puede ser una consecuencia imprevista de la forma en que se gestiona el sitio.

Outras medidas eficazes de conservação baseadas em áreas (OECMs) são locais fora de áreas protegidas que proporcionam conservação in situ eficaz e de longo prazo da biodiversidade. A conservação pode ser o objetivo principal ou secundário de um local que é gerido para outros fins, ou pode ser uma consequência acidental da forma como o local é gerido.

Tindakan konservasi berbasis area yang efektif lainnya (OECM) adalah tapak di luar kawasan perlindungan yang memberikan pelestarian keanekaragaman hayati secara in situ yang efektif dan jangka panjang.

Les autres mesures de conservation efficaces par zone (AMCEZ) concernent les sites situés en dehors des aires protégées qui assurent une conservation in situ efficace et à long terme de la biodiversité. La conservation peut être l’objectif principal du site, un objectif secondaire d’un site géré à d’autres fins, ou encore une conséquence involontaire de la manière dont le site est géré.
