Conserved Areas

@carlyziter Would love to collaborate with you @carlyziter on conservation in impacted and urbanized geographies. As we argued in the @ConversationCA, #OECM s provide a policy pathway to formally recognize/steward these places as "landscapes of #opportunity" not "landscapes of regret".

We're thrilled to share the first blog in our #DemystifyLaw ⚖️ series, focusing on the recent @UNBiodiversity conference and how we helped shape the decision on #protectedareas & #conservedareas: futurelaw.org/blog/2019/demy… #biodiversity #nature #law @CristianaPascaP @IntlLawBlog

@Allatsea4 @dilysroe @IUCN_PA Hi Julian - #ConservedAreas (OECMs) should definitely be a strong part of the post-2020 #biodiversity framework. Indigenous peoples and communities have the right to determine whether they want their territories & areas to be recognised as such. #biodiversity2020 @ICCAConsortium

@DKaimowitz Highly likely these areas qualify as ‘potential’ #conservedareas #OECMs - the question is: will related legal frameworks strengthen governance systems or undermine them? parksjournal.com/wp-content/upl… @UNBiodiversity @andersen_inger @LawLivelihoods @ICCAConsortium

@faisal_moola @CSAHS_UoG @robinjroth @ICCAConsortium @Borealconserve @valeriecourtois We agree that #indigenous #protectedareas and #conservedareas are (finally) starting to achieve the recognition they deserve - though national-level support is still highly differentiated google.co.uk/amp/s/news.mon… @UNBiodiversity @mongabay

Dr Theresa Mundita Lim is a champion for nature and people 🌏🌊🌱 We are looking forward to working with Mundita and her team at @ASEANBiodiv to increase recognition of #conservedareas in the region More on conserved areas: google.co.uk/amp/s/news.mon… @UNBiodiversity

‘Other effective area-based conservation measures’ (Aichi Target 11) can make an important contribution to the half earth concept bit.ly/2IUFjEc @IUCN_PA #ConservedAreas twitter.com/cristianapasca…

Agreed - that’s why the exciting push towards a new designation for conservation occurring outside protected areas should be referred to as ’conserved areas’ and not ‘OECMs’ @ErikSolheim @UNBiodiversity @UNEnvironment #UNBiodiversityConference #Conservedareas

Congratulations to Ras Mohamed National Park and Wadi Al Hitan #Egypt and Ol Kiyna #Kenya. They made it to the #Green List of #Protected and #ConservedAreas during the 2018. #UNBiodiversityConference #COP14 @UNEnvironment @Kjulybiao @JoyceMsuya @UnKenya @UNEgypt

For the first time, a Canadian military base will be recognized as a conserved area (aka 'other area-based effective conservation measure') in support of Canada’s land conservation goals. canada.ca/en/environment… @UNBiodiversity @FutureLex #conservedareas #OECMs

Global agreement on 'conserved areas' marks new era of conservation - @mongabay article by @FutureLex news.mongabay.com/2018/12/global… @UNBiodiversity #conservedareas #protectedareas #OECMs

At @UNBiodiversity Conference #COP14 Parties finalised a decision that includes a definition and criteria of 'conserved areas' (#OECMs). @futurelex provides an overview of the process: futurelaw.org/blog/2019/demy…
