The Protected Planet Report was recently launched at the IUCN World Conservation Congress. The Report is the first edition in a series that will be produced on a biannual basis to evaluated progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, which requires at least 17% of the world's terrestrial areas and 10% of the world's marine areas to be effectively, and equitably protected and managed by 2020. The report utilises information from three indicators brought together under the Biodiversity Indicators Partnership; Coverage of protected areas, protected area overlays with biodiversity and Management effectiveness of protected areas.
The report also reveals a profound shift in areas critical to the success of protected areas, such as management and governance arrangements. Nearly half of the world's protected areas are within sustainable-use areas and protected landscapes / seascapes, and nearly a quarter are managed by non-governmental actors or under co-management arrangements, often with indigenous peoples or local communities.
