The Blue Mountains World Heritage Institute (BMWHI), in partnership with PALRC, is running an online training program over 10 half days from September 21 - October 2.
In a paper released in the latest issue of PARKS, The International Journal of Protected Areas and Conservation, 35 conservationists compiled a comprehensive account of how protected and conserved areas around the world are being impacted by COVID-19. Protected and conserved areas such
Arnavon Islands, located between Isabel and Choiseul provinces, is today the country’s first community marine park following a government gazette on Wednesday 10th May 2017 declaring it as an official designated protected area.
Protecting 30% of the planet for nature: costs, benefits and economic implications
The current report, based on the work of over 100 economists/scientists, analyses the global economic implications of a 30% PA target for agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and the PA/nature sector itself. (OECMs were only defined by the CBD in 2018, too recently to economically model, but we include a qualitative treatment of them.) n We carried out two analyses: a global financial one (concrete revenues and costs only); and a tropicsfocused economic one (including non-monetary ecosystem service values), for multiple scenarios of how a 30% PA target might be implemented.

Guidelines for conserving connectivity through ecological networks and corridors
Ecological connectivity is the unimpeded movement of species and the flow of natural processes that sustain life on Earth.
We're excited to share this free learning and sharing opportunity. The team out of IUCN WCPA have put together a free online webinar series, scheduled for the second half of July 2020. The series is titled 'Strengthening Protected Area Management Effectiveness'.
The ARNAVON MARINE PARK (a Community-Managed Conservation Initiative) - CONSERVATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN (Revised)
This Conservation and Management Plan was the culmination of a community-wide consultation undertaken to review the 20-year old ACMCA Management Plan first endorsed in 1994.The scope of this Plan is dictated by AMP’s status as an established and internationally recognized conservation program that has been operated for more than 20 years to date. With such operational status, this Plan is therefore tailored to meet legal requirements for declaration as a protected area under the new legal regime.
Sometimes you can find insight in surprising places.
There's a whirlwind of distressing news these days. Rage over racism; fretting over finance; and coronavirus may just be getting its boots on. It's all a perfect time to unleash some quiet mayhem on the environment.
