Privately managed protected areas – helping achieve the Aichi Targets

Meeting
Twelfth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity

Privately managed protected areas (PPAs) are underrepresented in national protected area systems and under reported internationally despite the fact that they are a rapidly growing element of the conservation estate. This side event will draw on the results of a two-year project which has reviewed PPAs globally and worked with expert practitioners to better understand the constraints, opportunities, incentives and disincentives for developing PPAs. The aim is to help Parties to the CBD recognise the role PPAs can play in achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (especially Target 11)
