“…All good management involves 'learning by doing' because uncertainty is common in ecological management, so that management interventions can produce unexpected outcomes (both successes and failures). This is particularly true given that future ecological conditions remain uncertain under climate change (Gross et al, 2016). PPA managers should take steps to understand how management actions will impact conservation targets, collect data on how targets have responded and modify future actions based on that learning.…”

Equilibrium Research offers practical solutions to conservation challenges, from concept, to implementation and evaluation of impact. With partners ranging from local communities to UN agencies across the world, Equilibrium explores and develops approaches to natural resource management that balance the needs of nature and people. The founders, Nigel Dudley and Sue Stolton, see biodiversity conservation as an ethical necessity, which can also support human wellbeing. www.equilibriumresearch.com The Turner Endangered Species Fund (TESF) TESF was launched in 1997 and is dedicated to conserving biological diversity by ensuring the persistence of imperiled species and their habitats with an emphasis on private land. Our activities range from single species conservation actions to restoration of ecological communities and functional ecosystems. We are unique in our efforts to bring the role of private lands to the forefront of ecological conservation. We aim to use the best science to effectively conserve biodiversity and disseminate reliable scientific and policy information. We are determined to establish a new level of effectiveness for private-public efforts to redress the extinction crisis.

“…The recently coined term 'conserving nature's stage' is based on flora and fauna being the 'actors' with geodiversity as the 'stage' on which they thrive. As a coarse filter approach, the conservation of biodiversity is seen as best achieved by conserving the stage, particularly in times of climate change when having a range of habitats for plants and animals to relocate to may be crucial to their survival (Anderson & Ferree, 2010;Gross et al, 2016).…”

“…The effects of climate change will inevitably challenge the management objectives of protected areas (Groves et al, 2012;Gross et al, 2016). Careful consideration will be needed where, for example, features are lost and/or processes are curtailed or intensified, thus changing the basis for protection.…”

“…While hard protection is likely to continue to be needed to secure essential infrastructure, more natural solutions are being increasingly discussed and deployed elsewhere, both on environmental and cost grounds (Spalding et al, 2014;Cohen-Shacham et al, 2016;Williams et al, 2018;Morris et al, 2019); (see also Section 5, and the IUCN/WCPA Natural Solutions website). A good example of climate change mitigation and adaptation in mangrove swamps is Case Study 1.1 in Gross et al (2016). The Science for Nature and People Partnership's team on coastal defences has excellent material to aid protected area managers.…”

These Guidelines are intended to help improve the conservation and management of geoheritage and geodiversity in protected and conserved areas and recognition of the interrelationships and interactions with biological features and processes. They are not a textbook on geoconservation management practice, but rather set out the essential background, context and principles; summarise relevant material to make it more readily accessible to users in one volume; and provide links to the key literature and additional sources that include detailed practical guidance. The use of best practice examples from around the world will hopefully give users renewed confidence in looking after geoheritage and in connecting geoconservation with biodiversity conservation.

“…Through the ecosystem services provided by protected areas, the implementation of the commitments could contribute to progress towards achievement of the goals and several targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, not only those on life on land and life below water, but also climate action, poverty eradication, and sustainable consumption and production, among others (SCBD, 2016b). It will also deliver various benefits with respect to climate change mitigation and adaptation (Gaüzère et al, 2016;Gross et al, 2016;Melillo et al, 2016), including to the (Intended) Nationally Determined Contributions of the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Dudley et al, 2015), and the Land Degradation Neutrality goal of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. In addition, there will also be contribution towards the fulfilment of requirements in other multilateral environmental agreements, such as UNESCO's World Heritage Convention and its Man and the Biosphere Programme, the Ramsar Convention, the Convention on Migratory Species, and other biodiversityrelated conventions, in a synergistic manner.…”

STATUS AND PROSPECTS FOR ACHIEVING AICHI BIODIVERSITY TARGET 11: Implications of National Commitments and Priority Actions

This paper reviews the current status of Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 at the global level. Although there remain gaps in the coverage of ecological regions and areas important for biodiversity and ecosystem services, 10 per cent coverage of coastal and marine areas under national jurisdiction has already been surpassed. The full implementation of agreed national priority actions and other commitments, including those in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans, will expand coverage of the global ocean beyond 10 per cent, and result in more than 17 per cent coverage of terrestrial and inland waters. These commitments will also lead to substantial progress in other elements of the Target. Appropriate recognition of other effective area-based conservation measures and governance types, inter alia, privately protected areas and territories and areas conserved by indigenous peoples and local communities, currently underreported in global assessments, would further improve the prospects for the achievement of Target 11. This will generate not only multiple benefits for the well-being of society by contributing solutions to the most important global challenges, but will also contribute to other Aichi Targets and globally agreed goals. Hence, concerted efforts by all stakeholders to facilitate the implementation of commitments towards achieving Target 11 will be a wise investment.
