Kenya’s conservation areas consist of national parks and reserves, national forests, and private and community wildlife conservancies. The historically protected areas only account for 10% of Kenya’s land mass (national parks, reserves, and protected forests). Conserving Kenya’s biodiversity referred to as a “national heritage” is at the core of th...

Conservation covenants are an important legal tool for enabling private land conservation, whose significance to policymakers has recently grown in light of new global commitments to expand areas of land and water protected and restored. Covenants’ traditional focus on conservation of existing natural values rather than restoration of degraded land...

The important role of private land conservation, and particularly privately protected areas (PPAs), in contributing towards global conservation is increasingly recognised. With an increase in the extent of PPAs, under a variety of different legal regimes and governance types, comes an increasing number of ecological, social, governance and legal re...

In line with Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the European Union (EU) aims to protect 30% of its land and sea by 2030 (known as 30x30). Germany has been a vocal supporter of this goal in the international arena but has yet to achieve sufficient protected area coverage domestically. We estimate that Germany needs to re...

Australia has one of the world's largest privately protected area (PPA) estates and has been seen as a world leader in establishing PPAs, with significant growth since 2000. Despite the policy expectation that PPAs will continue to grow in Australia, there has been limited policy or academic consideration of the legal and governance arrangements th...

A vast cross-societal effort will be needed to achieve the ambition of protecting and conserving 30% of the earth’s lands and oceans by 2030, as called for in Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. While focus is often given to the 30% coverage aspect of this target, other elements – on the location and effectiveness of pro...

In response to the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Australia has committed to protecting 30 per cent of lands and oceans for nature conservation by 2030. Privately protected areas are vital to meeting this target and establishing an ecologically representative and well-connected National Reserve ...

【摘要】私人保护地(privately protected area, PPA)是一种潜在的创新性保护工具, 而其成功与否的一个必要条件是法律认可, 特别是在自然保护面临制度性挑战的地方(如南美洲)。尽管自21世纪初以来, 南美洲的PPA已经增加, 但与其法律框架有关的信息仍存在明显空缺。本研究分析了在南美洲正式承认PPA的国家中, 土地所有者对PPA的遵守程度和政府的支持程度。我们分析了管理PPA的法律框架, 并整理了相关文献, 该过程使用了英语和西班牙。我们收集的信息得到了来自10个南美洲国家的16位保护专家的验证。由于秘鲁是仅有的两个由当地社区创建和管理PPA的南美洲国家之一, 我们还通过检查官方文件和采访13位当地保护专家, 更详细地研究了秘鲁的PPA。我们发现, PPA的最短时限不...

Protected areas are an essential component of global conservation efforts. Although extensive information is available on the location of protected areas governed by governments, data on privately protected areas remain elusive at the global level. These are areas governed by private individuals and groups—ranging from families to religious institu...
