The 2018 UN List provides up-to-date information on marine and terrestrial protected areas globally, and identifies those protected areas that have been the subject of management effectiveness evaluations. Such evaluations provide a valuable assessment of the management performance of these areas: they help identify threats to the protected areas and inform mitigating actions; they help in identifying gaps in capacity, for example insufficient technical or financial resources; and they can identify where management actions are successful at achieving conservation outcomes and thus should be maintained.
