lUCN/UICN 1994 World Conservation Monitoring Centre

The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) is a joint venture between the three partners who developed the World Conservation Strategy and its successor, Caring for the Earth: lUCN - The World Conservation Union, UNEP - United Nations Environment Programme, and WWF - World Wide Fund For Nature (formerly World Wildlife Fund). Its mission is to support conservation and sustainable development through the provision of information on the world's biological diversity.

WCMC has developed a global overview database that includes threatened plant and animal species, habitats of conservation concern, critical sites, protected areas of the world, and the utilisation and trade in wildlife species and products. Drawing on this database, WCMC provides an information service to the conservation and development communities, governments and the United Nations agencies, scientific institutions, the business and commercial sector, and the media. WCMC produces a wide variety of specialist outputs and reports based on

analyses of its data. It is also actively involved in building the capabilities of other institutions, particularly in developing countries, for promoting and planning their own biological resources.

Le WCMC - Centre mondial de surveillance continue de la conservation de la nature

Le Centre mondial de surveillance continue de la conservation de la nature (WCMC) est une entreprise commune des trois partenaires de la Strategic mondiale de la conservation: I'Union mondiale pour la nature

(UICN), le Fonds mondial pour la nature (WWF), et le Programme des Nations Unies pour I'environnement

(PNUE). Ce centre a pour mission d'appuyer la conservation et le ddveloppement durable en recueillant et en analysant les donn&s mondiales sur la conservation, afin que les ddcisions concemant les ressources

biologiques reposent sur les meilleures informations possibles.

Le WCMC a dtabli une banque de donn&s sur la diversity biologique mondiale, qui comprend des donndes

sur les esp^ces animales et vdgdtales menac&s, les biotopes pr6occupants du point de vue de la conservation,

les sites critiques, les aires protdgdes, ainsi que I'utiUsation et le commerce des especes et produits de la faune et de la flore sauvages. S'appuyant sur cette banque de donndes, le WCMC foumit un service d'information aux communautds de la conservation el du ddveloppement, aux gouvemements, aux institutions des Nations Unies, aux instituts scientifiques, au monde du commerce et des affaires, et aux madias. Le WCMC public de tr&s nombreux rapports et documents specialises, fondds sur I'analyse de ses donndes.

Introduction

Protected areas make a vital contribution to the conservation of the world's natural and cultural resources. Values range from retention of representative samples of natural regions and the preservation of biological diversity, to the maintenance of environmental stability of surrounding regions. Protected areas can provide an opportunity for rural development and rational use of marginal lands, for research and monitoring, for conservation education, and for recreation and tourism. As a result, most countries have developed systems of protected areas.

However, protected area systems vary considerably from one country to anotlier, depending on needs and priorities, and on differences in legislative, institutional and financial support. Also, the range of services and values that protected areas provide is such that some management objcciives are not compatible with others.

This has lead to the emergence of a wide range of protected area designations and definitions.

The aim of the UN List is to provide a definitive list of protected areas meeting certain criteria,which are specified below.

History Of the UN List

The United Nations List ofNational Parks and Equivalent Reserves was drawn up at the request of the United

Nations following a resolution adopted by the General Assembly at its Sixteenth Session in December 1962 on "Economic Development and Nature Conservation". This resolution served to endorse an earlier resolution

(No. 7 1 3) of the 27th Session of the UN Economic and Social Council held in 1 959, which recognized National Parks and Equivalent Reserves as an important factor in the wise use of natural resources, and led to the compilation of the first World List of National Parks and Equivalent Reserves.

lUCN was instrumental in the preparation of the two resolutions, and has since had primary responsibility for the compilation and maintenance of the list. The UN List \s now prepared jointly by the lUCN Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas, and by the Worid Conservation Monitoring Centre. The previous edition of the UNListwus published in 1990. Earlier editions appeared in 1961/2, 1966 (English version 1971), 1972

(addendum to the 1966/71 list), 1973, 1974, 1975, 1980, 1982 and 1985. The present title was adopted in 1982.

The lUCN Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas

lUCN's Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas (CNPPA) is the leading international scientific and technical body concerned with the selection, establishment and management of national parks and other

protected areas. Its membcrshipincludes more than SOOprotectcd areas professionals from about 120countries.

CNPPA is served by lUCN 's Protected Areas Programme in order to promote iheestablishment of a world-wide network of effectively managed terrestrial and marine protected areas.

During preparation of this edition of the UN List, CNPPA has been under the chair of P.H.C (Bing) Lucas of New Zealand with Adrian Phillips of the United Kingdom as Deputy Chair. Organization of the Commission (marine protected areas). is regional, with 14 regional Vice-Chairs and two thematic Vice-Chairs and mountain There are normally two to three regional working sessions a year. Since the last L'A' List was compiled, there have been meetings in Australia, China, Sweden, Dominican Republic, Italy (for the North Africa/Middle East region), and the IV Worid Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas held in Venezuela also brought

together over 1 ,800 people from all over the worid. 1993 UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas

The WCMC Protected Areas Data Unit

The Protected Areas Data Unit was established by CNfPPA in 1981 to handle the increasing amount of information, and to assist the Commission in preparing publications on protected areas around the world. The unit is now a part of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, and is based in Cambridge in the United Kingdom. One objective of WCMC's work on protected areas is to be able to provide accurate up-to-date information individual on protected areas and protected area systems of the world to those who need it, or, failing that, to identify where such information can be quickly obtained.

In order to meet this objective, WCMC collaborates with the many agencies around the world that manage protected areas, and with conservationists and scientists who work in this Field. Many of the individuals involved are members of CNfPPA. WCMC also has a particular responsibility for managing infonmation on Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites (accorded by the MAB Secretariat and the World Heritage Committee respectively), and collaborates with the Ramsar Convention Bureau on sites listed underthe Ramsar (Wetlands) Convention.

Criteria for inclusion

There are three criteria which govern whether or not a protected area is included in the UN List: size, management objectives, and the authority of the management agency.

1. Size. Only protected areas of over 1,000 hectares are included, with the exception of offshore or oceanic islands of at least 100 hectares where the whole island is protected. One thousand hectares is equivalent to 10 square kilometres, 2,471 acres or 3.86 square miles.

2. Management objectives. A series of protected area management categories, defined by management objective, are identified by lUCN/CNPPA. These have been revised since the previous UN List was published, and definitions of each category are provided below.

Nationally designated sites are allocated to the relevant lUCN Categories, on the basis of their legally defined management objectives, and implementation of those objectives. Where the available

infonmation suggests that management of the site is insufficient to implement nationally legislated objectives, the site may either be omitted from the list, or, where relevant, included under another category. Reasons for this might include inappropriate use, inadequate resources, severe

encroachment or civil strife, and are ofien beyond the control of the management authority. It is anticipated that such omission or reclassification would be temporary, pending improvement in the information available, or in the actual on-site situation.

The 1993 edition of the UN List includes sites in lUCN Management Categories I through V. It is intended that Category VI sites will be included in the next edition. Protected areas which are also designated Ramsar Sites, Worid Heritage Sites or Biosphere Reserves, are included both in the nafional lists and in the lists of areas of international significance.

3. Authority the In the of management agency . past, only those sites managed by the "highest competent authority" were included within the UN List, i.e those with the highest appropriate level of government. In this edition of the list, those sites managed by state authorities within the federal systems have also been included.

The 1993 UN List is the fourth to be prepared jointly by WCMC and CNPPA, and, as with the previous three lists (published in 1982, 1985 and 1990), there has been a considerable expansion in the list—despite the fact that the criteria for inclusion have remained largely unchanged. While there

have been some significant extensions to protected areas networks, much of the expansion of the list is due to improvements in available information, and improvements in our ability to collect and

manage it. It is important to bear this in mind when using the list. Introduction

Layout of the UN List

Sites which meet the above-mentioned criteria are listed country by country (in alphabetic order of the

Enghsh-Ianguage version of the country name). Within each country, sites are presented in alphabetic order by national designation (for example national parks, nature reserves, wildlife sanctuaries). Three items of information are provided about each site: its lUCN management category, its size (in hectares), and the year it was established (orsignificandy altered in either size or designation). Forthe first time, the list also includes a central latitude/longitude for each site. Further information on each of these sites is held by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre.

Forpractical reasons, the 1993 UN List has been ordered according to an alphabetical listing of countries in

English. French and Spanish speaking readers should consult the glossaries on pages xxvii to xlvi. These provide a translation of country names from French to English and from Spanish to English, respectively. To assist readers locate specific sections of the UN List, an English running head is provided. Similarly, the summary data presented at the stan of each country section are entitled and annotated in English only. The equivalent terms are 'Sommaire' and 'Catdgorie' in French, and 'Resumen' and 'Categona' in Spanish.

Compilation of the UN List

WCMC and CNPPA have been collecting and managing information on protected areas for a number of years, and a large body of information is available, some of which has been published. New information is also constantly being received. In preparing the 1993 UN List, staff at WCMC reviewed existing material, and revised and updated lists of protected areas (which included the appropriate lUCN Management Category for each site). Draft lists for each country were sent to national management agencies, with a request that they be checked, updated, and returned. Based on the information received, WCMC staff revised this draft, following up queries with contacts in the countries concerned, or members of the CNPPA.

Copies of the revised lists were then sent to the CNPPA Regional Vice-Chairs for review, as well as to the lUCN Secretariat. The responses of national management authorities varied considerably. In total, some 455 requests were made. In the ca.se of federal nations, for example the United States, requests were sent to individual stale authorities and in instances where more than one agency is responsible for protected areas, multiple requests were sent to the same country. By October 1993, 226 responses had been received, 49% of the total. The rate of response was best in Australia with an 88% response and poorest in Francophone Africa, with only 1 8% response. In the event that no infonmation was received from official sources, data were taken, where possible, from published material and other sources.

As detailed above, information for the new UN List was gathered from management agencies during the course of 1993. Part of this exercise included providing summary text to each agency, briefly describing the then current lUCN Management Category System, with a request that the appropriate category be applied to each site (a summary of this category system is provided at the end of this introduction). The infomiation presented in the 1993 UN List has been classified according to this category system which was in place at the time of data collection.

In mid-1993, a new protected areas management category system was approved by the lUCN Council, on the advice of CNPPA following review at the 1992 Fonh World Congress on National Parks and Protected

Areas at Caracas. This new system is introduced through the publication of the Guidelinesfor Protected Area ManagementCategories. The categories used in this new system arc also summarised in the Annex. Subsequent editions of the UN List wUl be classified according to this new system.

Accuracy and quality of Information

The global system of protected areas is changing rapidly, new areas are created, boundaries of existing areas are revised and some sites arc destroyed through industrial development, shifting agriculture, natural disasters or civil strife. To .slate empnatically that there has been any net gain for conservation in the amount of land and 1993 UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas

water protected in the last few years is very difficult. It is not simply a question of hectares protected or of the

number of areas protected, but is more a question of management effectiveness. Are the protected areas achieving the objectives for which they were established?

The quality of the information used to compile the UN List is very variable, and infomiation on management effectiveness is still lacking for a number of countries. While the vast majority of the national parks which

meet the relevant criteria are listed, information on the other categories of protected area is still incomplete,

and much more information is necessary before we can be confident we are providing complete lists of areas in every management category. Three important sectors, forestry, private and indigenous, have not been

included in the UN List, either because their areas do not meet the criteria or because available information is incomplete. Nevertheless, the contribution of these three sectors to conservation and sustainable development is considerable.

Managed areas in the forestry sector cover over 10% of the tropics, according to data collected by WCMC. Throughout the tropics, forestry policy is undergoing substantial change, with increased emphasis being placed on a balanced approach to sustainable production and conservation. However, there is still much to be achieved,

and a need exists in many countries to propcriy as.scss the conservation value of the forest estate. Following initial review of forest reserves in tropical forest countries, carried out with the support of the UK Overseas Development Administration, WCMC is seeking to continue systematically reviewing the forest reserve

systems of all countries to help assess their contribution to nature conservation objectives.

There is some debate on ethical as well as practical grounds as to what extent indigenous areas can be regarded as conservation areas. The importance of these areas for nature conservation cannot be denied, as indigenous areas collectively cover an area the size of Australia, and those correlate strongly with areas of

biological richness. For example, Colombia has ceded over 25% of its territory to indigenous peoples, most of

this in biologically diverse tropical forest regions. As conservationists are increasingly required to enter into dialogue with indigenous peoples over the joint conservation of cultural and biological diversity, information on indigenous areas will become more important.

Unlike the areas which fall within the other two sectors, private protected areas are not usually significant in terms of the area they cover, but they are important because of the quality of management and degree of protection afforded to them. Private areas include those areas administered by foundations and private enterprise, as well as those established and run by communities themselves. Excellent examples of private initiatives which support and complement stale systems abound: The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

in the UK, The Nature Conservancy in North America, the Fundacion Moisds Bertoni in Paraguay and the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Jordan. Private protected areas may increase in importance,

particulariy in tropical countries, where state resources are very limited.

The 1993 UN List undoubtedly includes mistakes and omissions, but it is hoped that these will stimulate

ever more accurate information. The responsibility for errors and oversights rests with the compilers, and

corrections or updates should be communicated to the:

Compilation of the list has been carried out by many WCMC staff, including Graham Drucker, Victoria Freeman, Harriet Gillett, Donald Gordon, Michael Green, Jeremy Harrison (Head of Unit), James Paine (project coordination), Chris Sharpe, Mark Spalding and Alison Suter. Susan Hawley, Tony Rogers, Caroline Brown and Corinna Ravilious have provided tremendous support in the last stages of data entry.

Compilation has been actively supported by CNPPA, and in particular by the officers of the Commission, and Dr James Thorsell, Jeff McNeely, David Sheppard and Caroline Martinet, of the lUCN Secretariat.

The list was prepared for publication by Elaine Shaughnessy and Anne Rodford of the lUCN Publication Services Unit.

Additional financial support was provided by the United Nations Environment Programme.

Finally, many individuals in protected areas management agencies and elsewhere in each country have provided information which has been used in compiling this list. Without this input, the list could not have been completed.

1978 Protected Areas Management Categories

I. Strict Nature Reserve/Scientific Reserve. To protect nature and maintain natural processes in an undisturbed state in order to have ecologically representative examples of the natural environment available for scientific study, environmental monitoring, education, and for the maintenance of genetic resources in a dynamic and evolutionary state.

II. National Park. To protect outstanding natural and scenic areas of national or international significance forscicntific, educational, and recreational use. These are relatively large natural areas notmaterially altered by human activity where extractive resource uses are not allowed.

III. Natural Monument/Natural Landmark. To protect and preserve nationally significant natural features because of their special interest or unique characteristics. These are relatively small areas focused on protection of specific features.

IV. Managed Nature Reserve/Wildlife Sanctuary. To assure the natural conditions necessary to protect nationally significant species, groups of species, biotic communities, or physical features of the environment where these may require specific human manipulation for their perpetuation. Controlled harvesting of some resources can be permitted.

V. Protected Landscapes and Seascapes. To maintain nationally significant natural landscapes which are characteristic of the harmonious interactionof man andland while providingopportunitiesforpublic enjoyment through recreation and tourism within the normal life style and economic activity of these traditional areas. These are mixed cultural/natural landscapes of high scenic value where land uses are maintained.

Les aires protdgdes apportent une conlribution vitale & la conservation des ressources naturelles et culturelles de la plan6te. EUcs ont aussi bien pour fonclion de prdservcr des dchantillons reprdsentatifs de rdgions naturelles et la diversitd biologique que de maintenir la stabilitd dcologique des rdgions qui les entourent. Elles sont un moteur pwur le ddveloppcmcnt rural et I'utilisation rationnclle des terres marginales, la recherche et la surveillance continue, I'dducation k la conservation, les loisirs et Ic tourisme. Pour toutes ces raisons, la plupart des pays se sont dotds d'un rdseau d'aires protdgdes.

Toutefois, les rdseaux d'aires protdgdes varient dnormdment d'un pays h I'autre, selon les besoins et les prioritds, selon les diffdrcnccs entrc les moyens IdgislatiTs, institulionncls ct financiers disponibles. En outre, la gamme des services et valeurs des aires protdgdes est telle que certains objectifs de gestion sontincompatibles avec d'autres.

Unies et dans I'esprit d'une rdsolution sur le "ddveloppcmcnt dconomiquc ct la conservation de la nature", adoptde pari' Asscmbldegdndraleksal6e Session, en ddccmbrc 1962. Cctte rdsolution entdrinait une rdsolution prdcddente (No 7 1 3) dc la 27e Session du Conseil dconomiquc et social, tcnuc en 1 959. Cette demidre rdsolution reconnaissait que les pares nationaux ct rdserves analogues sont un instrument important de I'utilisation rationnelle des ressources naturelles ct a ddbouchd sur I'dtablissement de la premiere Liste mondiale des pares nationaux et reserves analogues.

L'UICN a joud un role central dans la prdparation des deux rdsolutions et, dcpuis lors, est responsable de la compilation ct dc la misc k jour de la Liste. La Liste des Nations Unies est aujourd'hui compilde par la

Commission des pares nationaux ct des aires protdgdes de 1 'UICN et le Centre mondial dc surveillance continue

de la conservation de la nature (WCMC). La version prdcddente de \di Liste des Nations Unies a dtd publide en 1990. De plus anciennes versions datcntdc 1961/1962, 1966 (version anglaisc 1971), 1972 (ajout^ la Liste de

1966/1971), 1973, 1974, 1975, 1980, 1982 et 1985. Le titre actucl a dtd adoptd en 1982.

La Commission des pares nationaux et des aires protegees de I'UICN

La Commission des pares nationaux et des aires protdgdes de I'UICN (CPNAP) est le principal organe

international, scicntifiquc et technique s'intdressant au choix, a la crdation et ^ I'amdnagement des pares

nationaux et des aires protdgdes en gdndral. Elle compte parmi scs mcmbrcs plus de 500 spdcialistes des pares

nationaux et autrcs aires protdgdes, dc quclquc 120 pays. La CPNAP est appuyde par le Programme pour les

aires protdgdes de I'UICN et s'attache a encourager la mise en place et la gestion cfficace d'un rdseau mondial

d'aires protdgdes terrestres ct marines.

Durant la prdparation de la prdsente ddition de la Liste des Nations Unies, la CPNAP dtait placde sous la

prdsidence de P.H.C. (Bing) Lucas, de la Nouvelle-Zdlande, et sous la vice-prdsidence d'Adrian Phillips, du

Royaume-Uni. La Commission est organisde sur une base rdgionale. Elle compte 14 vice-prdsidents rdgionaux

et 2 vice-prdsidents thdmatiques (aires protdgdes marines et montagnardes). Elle tient normalement deux ou

trois rdunions dc travail par an. Dcpuis la compilation de la demicrc Liste des Nations Unies, des rdunions ont J993 UN Lis! ofNalional Parks and Proleclcd Areas

eu lieu en Australie, en Chine, en Suede, en Rdpublique dominicaine, en Italic (pour la rdgion Afrique du

Nord/Moyen-Oricnt), et le I Ve Congrcs mondial des pares nalionaux et dcs aires prot^gdes, icnu au Venezuela, a ^galement rassembld plus de 1 800 personnes du monde enlier.

L'Unite de donnees sur ies aires protegees du WCMC

L'Unit6 de donndes sur Ies aires proidgdcs a 6t6 CT66e par la CPNAP en 1981, charg(ic de trailer la quantity croissante de donndcs et d'aidcr la Commission h preparer des publications sur Ies aires protdgdes du monde enticr. L'Unitd est maintenant intdgrde au Centre mondial de surveillance continue de la conservation de la nature et basde a Cambridge, au Royaumc-Uni. Les travaux du WCMC concemant Ies aires protdgdes visent h foumirdes informations prdcises el ^ jour sur chaque aire proldgde, chaque rdseau d'aires protdgdes, h ceux qui en ont bcsoin ou, h ddfaut, de trouver ou obtcnir rapidement cctlc information.

Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, Ic WCMC collabore avec les nombreux organismes qui, dans le monde entier, sont chargds de gdrcr les aires protdgdes ainsi qu'avec des spdcialistes de la conservation et des scientifiques actifs dans ce domaine. La plupart des pxjrsonnes conccmdcs sont membres dc la CPNAP. Le WCMC est dgalement chargd de gdrer Tinformation sur les rdserves de la biosphere et les biens du patrimoine mondial (responsabilitds qui lui sont conTides respcctivemenl par le Sccrdtariat du MAB et le Comitd du patrimoine mondial) ainsi que, en collaboration avec le Bureau de la Convention dc Ramsar, sur les sites de la Lisle de ladite Convention (zones hum ides).

Criteres d'inscription sur la Liste

Trois criteres gouvemenl Tinscription d'une aire proldgde sur la Liste des Nations Unies: ses dimensions, les objectifs dc gestion et Tautoriid de I'organe de gcstion.

1. Les dimensions: sculcs sonl incluses les aires protdgdes dc plus dc 1000 hectares, 5 1'exception d'fles

ocdaniqucs qui couvreni au moins 1 00 hectares, si dies sont cnticrcmcnt protdgdes. Mille hectares dquivalenl a 10 kilometres carrds.

2. Les objectifs de gestion: une sdric de catdgories de gcstion pour les aires protdgdes, ddfinies en

fonction de 1 'objcclif dc gcstion, a did dtablic par la CPNAP/UICN. Les catdgories ont did rdvisdes dcpuis la publication de la demicre Liste des Nations Unies, et les ddfiniiions en question sont donndes ci-apres.

Les sites ddsignds au plan national sont classds dans les catdgories approprides de I'UICN, en fonction de leurs objectifs de gcstion ddfinis juridiquemcnt et de la fagon dont ces objectifs sont mis en oeuvre. Lorsqu'il est apparent, a travers Tinformalion disponible, qu'un site n'est pas gdrd de fa9on h appliqucrlcs objectifs fixds par la Idgislation nationale, ce site peul ctre omis de la Liste ou,

le cas dchdant, inclus dans une autre caldgorie. Cela pcut se produirc dans le cas d'utilisation inappropridc du site, de ressources inaddquates, d 'empidiement grave ou dc guerre civile, dvdnements

sur Icsquels I'organe de gestion n'a souvent aucune prise. II est cntcndu que I'omission ou le reclassement sont tcmporaircs, en attendant de meillcurcs informations ou une amdlioration de la situation sur le terrain. #-

L'ddition 1993 dc la Liste des Nations Unies inclut les sites dcs catdgories de gestion UICN de I

^ V. 11 est prdvu d'ajoutcr une catdgorie VI dans la prochaine ddition. Les aires protdgdes qui sont dgalement des sites Ramsar, dcs biens du patrimoine mondial ou dcs rdserves de la biosphere figurent h la fois dans les listcs nationalcs et dans les listes d'aires d'imponancc intemationale.

3. Autorite de I'organe de gestion: jusqu'^ maintenant, seuls dtaicnt inclus dans la Liste des Nations

Unies les sites gdrds par la "plus haute autoritd compdientc", c'est-^-dire le plus haut organe gouvcmcmcnial approprid. La prdscntc ddition dc la Liste inclut dgalement les sites qui, dans les syslcmes fdddraux, sont gdrds par des autoritds d'Etat.

La Liste des Nations Unies 1993 est la qualridme que prdparcnt dc concert le WCMC et la CPNAP et, comme dans Ic cas des trois prdcddentes (publidcs en 1982, 1985 ct 1990), cette Liste a dtd Introduction

considdrablement dlargie, bien que les critferes d'inscription soient rcstds largement inchangds. Les r6seaux d 'aires protdg^es ont connu une forte expansion mais, en fait, celle de la Liste est due, en grande partie, ^ Tamdlioration dcs informations disponiblcs ct k une mcilleure capacity mise en place pour les recueillir et les gdrer. II importe d'avoir cela present h Tcsprit pour bien utiliser la Liste.

Presentation de la Liste des Nations Unies

Les sites qui satisfont aux entires susmentionn^s sont classes pays par pays (dans I'ordre alphab^tique du nom anglais du pays). Pour chaque pays, les sites figurent par ordrc alphabdtique, selon I'appellation nationale (par exemple pares nationaux, reserves naturelles. sanctuaires de faune sauvage). Pour chaque site, trois ^Idments d'information sont foumis: la catdgorie de gestion selon I'UICN, les dimensions (en hectares) et Tannic de creation (ou de modification importante des dimensions ou de 1 'appellation). C'est la premiere fois que la Liste indique dgalement la latitude/longitude du centre de chaque site. Le WCMCddtient de plus amples informations sur tousles sites.

Pour des raisons d 'ordrc pratique, la Liste des Nations Unies 1993 classc les pays dans I'ordre alphabdtique anglais. Les lecteurs francophones et hispanophones trouvcront, dans les lexiques dcs pages xxvii h xlvi, les noms des pays traduils de frangais en anglais ct d'cspagnol en anglais. Pour aider les lecteurs k localiser des sections spdcifiques de la Lisle, un tilre courant gdn6rique est foumi en anglais. De mcme, les donn&s r6sum6es figurant au ddbut de chaque entrde de pays comportent un titre ct des annotations en anglais uniquement. Les termes Equivalents sont "Sommaire" et "Catdgorie" en fran(jais et "Resumcn" et "Calcgoria" en espagnol.

Compilation de la Liste des Nations Unies

LeWCMCet la CPNAPrassemblcntettraitent des informations surles aires protdgdesdcpuisplusieursanndes.

lis disposent done d'un vaste capital de donndcs dont certaines ont 6l6 publides. lis reijoivent, en permanence, de nouvelles informations. Pour preparer la Liste des Nations Unies 1993. le personnel du WCMC a examine

le materiel existant, rdvisd et mis a jour des listes d'aires protdgdcs (qui comprenaient la catdgorie de gestion

VICN appropride pour chaque site). Des projets de listes de chaque pays ont 6i6 envoyds aux organes de gestion nationaux, qui les ont vdrifids et mis a jour. Avec I'information re^ue en retour, le WCMC a rdvisd les projets,

rdsolvant les questions pendantes avec scs contacts dans les pays conccmds ou avec les membres de la CPNAP.

Des projets de listes ont 6l6 envoyds pour examen aux vice-prdsidcnus rdgionaux de la CPNAP ainsi qu'au secrdtariat de I'UICN. Les rdponscs dcs organes de gestion nationaux ont dtd trds varides. Au total, environ

455 projets de listes ont dtd envoyds. Dans le cas des Etats fdddraux, par exemple les Etats-Unis d' Amdrique,

ces projets ont did envoyds aux auioriids d'Eiat et, lorsqu'il y avail plus d'un organe responsable des aires protdgdes, plusieurs copies onl did cnvoydes dans le mcme pays. En octobrc 1993, 226 rdponscs avaient dtd

revues, soil 49% du total. Le mcilleur taux de rdponse a did enregislrd en Auslralie el le plus faible en Afrique francophone. Pour les pays n'ayant pas envoyd d'information dc sources officielles, les donndes ont, dans la mesure du possible, did puisdcs dans des publications et autres sources d'information.

Comme cela est prdcisd aillcurs, les informations deslindes a la nouvclle Liste des Nations Unies ont dtd obtenues, en 1993, auprds des organes de gestion. Pour les aider, un icxte rdsumd avail did foumi h chaque organe de gestion, ddcrivanl bricvement le Systdme dc classcment alors appliqud par I'UICN, en leur demandant de classer chaque site dans la catdgorie appropride (un rdsumd de ce systdme de classement figure ont done h. la fin de la prdsente introduction). Les informations prdsentdes dans la Liste des Nations Unies 1993

dtd classdes selon le systeme en vigucur au moment ou les donndes ont did recueillies.

Au milieu de 1993, un nouveau systdme de classement a dtd approuvd par le Conseil de I'UICN, en

consultation avec la CPNAP, k Tissue d'un examen effectud par le IVe Congrds mondial des pares nationaux

et des aires protdgdes, tenu a Caracas en 1992. Ce nouveau systeme est iniroduil par la publication des Lignes

directrices pour les categories de gestion des aires protegees. Les catdgories ulilisdes dans ce nouveau systdme 1993 UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas

sont dgalcmcnt rdsumdes en Annexe. Les futures Editions de la Liste des Nations Unies seront classics selon ce nouveau sysicme.

Exactitude et qualite de I'information

Le rdseau mondial dcs aires protdg(5es 6volue rapidement: on crde do nouvelles aires, on modifie les limites de cellcs qui existent tandis que d'autres sont ddtruites par le ddveloppement industriel, Fagriculture itindrante, les catastrophes naturclles ou les conflits civils. Dire franchement que la conservation a fait des progr6s ces demiferes ann^es, du point do vuc de I'augmentation de la supcrficic tcrrcstre ou aquatique protdgde, seraittrcs difficile. II ne s'agit pas simplement d'hectares protdgds ou du nombre d'aires protdgdes mais plut6t de

I'efficacitd de la gestion. Les aires protdg&s remplissent-elles les objectifs qui ont pr6sid6 ^ leur creation?

La quality de rinformation qui sert de base ^ la compilation de la Liste des Nations Unies est trfes variable et I'information sur I'efficacitd de la gestion fait encore ddfaut pour un certain nombre de pays. Alors que la vaste majoritd dcs pares nationaux remplissant les entires approprids figure sur la Liste, I'information sur les autres categories d'aires protdgdcs est encore incomplete et il faudra rasscmblcr encore beaucoup de donndes avant d 'avoir la certitude que les listes sont completes pour chaque catdgorie.

Trois secteurs importants, forcsticr, privd et autochtonc, n'ont pas dtd inclus dans laLwfe des Nations Unies, soit parce que lours superficies ne rdpondaient pas aux critcrcs, soil parce que les informations disponibles dtaient incompletes. La contribution de ccs trois secteurs ^ la conservation et au ddveloppcmcnt durable n'en est pas moins considerable.

Scion des donndes recueillies par le WCMC, les aires gdrdes du scctcur forestier couvrent plus de 10% de la superficie des tropiqucs. La politique forcstidrc de I'enscmblc de ccitc rdgion est en plcine mutation et s'oriente de plus en plus vers une conception intdgrde de la production durable et de la conservation. II re.ste cepcndant encore beaucoup ^ faire et, dans de nombreux pays, il n'existc aucune estimation prdcise de la valeur du domaine forestier pour la conservation. Le WCMC, en se fondant sur une premiere dtude des rdserves forestieres des pays forestiers iropicaux, rdalisde avec I'appui de la Overseas Development Administration du Royaume-Uni, s'allache ^ poursuivrc I'examen systdmatique dcs rdseaux de rdserves forestieres de tous les pays, afin de les aider ^ dvaluer Icur contribution aux objectifs de la conservation de la nature.

La mesure dans laquelle les aires autochtones peuvent etre considdrdes comme des aires de conservation fait I'objet d'une certainc controvcrse, du point de vue tant dthique que pratique. On ne saurait cepcndant nier

I'importance de ces aires pour la conservation de la nature, dtant donnd que leur superficie totale dquivaut k celle de 1' Australie, et qu'elles sont en dtroite corrdlaiion avec des zones d 'une richesse biologiqueconsiddrable.

Parexemplc, la Colombic a cddd aux populations autochtones plus dc 25% de son territoire, dont I'essentiel se trouve dans des rdgions de forcts tropicales caractdrisdes par une trcs grandc diversitd biologique. Plus les ddfenseurs de la conservation de la nature dialogueront avec les populations autochtones sur la conservation conjointe de la diversitd culturclle et biologique, plus il y aura d'infonmation sur les aires autochtones.

Contrairement aux aires des deux autres secteurs, I'importance dcs aires protdgdes du secteur privd n'est

gdndralement pas lide a leur supcrficic, mais ^ la qualitd de leur gestion et au degrd de protection dont elles

bdndficient. Ces aires pri vdes incluenl cellcs qui sont adminislrdcs par dcs fondations et des entreprises privdes,

et cellcs qui ont dtd dtablies et sont gdrdes par les communautds cllcs-mcmes. Parmi les exemples d'initiatives

privdes venant appuycr ct compldtcr les systcmes rdseaux nationaux, on pcut citcr: The Royal Society for the

Protection of Birds (Royaume-Uni), The Nature Conservancy (Amdrique du Nord), la Fundacidn Moisds

Bertoni (Paraguay) et la Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (Jordanie). L'importance des aires

protdgdes privdes est voudc h. augmenter, surtout dans les pays tropicaux, ou les ressources de I'Etat sont tr^s limitdes.

II va de soi qu'il restc sans doute des erreurs ou des omissions dans la Liste des Nations Unies 1993. Nous

espdrons ndanmoins que ccs erreurs et omissions nous permettront de rccevoir des informations encore plus Introduction

Introduccion

Las ireas protegidas apwrtan una contribuci6n vital a la conservaci6n de los recursos naturales y culturales del mundo. Sus funciones varian desde la preservaci6n de ejemplos representatives de regiones naturales y de la diversidad biol6gica, hasta el mantenimiento de la estabilidad ecol6gica de las zonas que las rodean. Las ireas protegidas pueden consistuir una oportunidad para el desarroUo rural y la utilizaci(3n de tierras marginales a nivel regional, para la investigaci6n y el monitoreo, para la educaci6n en materia de conservaci6n, y para la recreaci6n y el turismo. Por todas estas razones, la mayorfa de pafses ha establecido sistemas de dreas protegidas.

Sin embargo, los sistemas de 5reas protegidas varfan enormemente de un pafs a otro, en funci6n de las necesidades y prioridades, y segiin el nivel de apoyo legislativo, institucional y financiero que reciben. Asimismo, la gama de servicios y valores de las dreas protegidas es tal, que ciertos objetivos de manejo son incompatibles con otros. Ello ha conducido a aplicar a las dreas protegidas toda una serie de designaciones y defmiciones.

La fmalidad de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas es obtener un listado definitive de las dreas protegidas que cumplan con determinados criterios, los cuales se presentan m5s adelante.

Historia de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas

La Lista de las Naciones Unidas de Parques Nacionales y Reservas Equivalentes se elabord atendiendo la solicitud de las Naciones Unidas siguiendo una Resoluci6n sobre "DesarroUo Econ(3mico y Conservaci6n de la Naturaleza", adoptada por la Asamblea General en su 16ava Sesi6n, celebrada en Diciembre de 1962. Esta

Resoluci6n sirvi6 para apoyaruna resoluci6n anterior (No. 713) de la 27ava Sesi6n del Consejo Econ6mico y Social de las Naciones Unidas, celebrada en 1959; esta resoluci6n reconocfa la importancia de los parques nacionales y las reservas equivalentes como instrumento para la utilizaci6n racional de los recursos naturales, y condujo a la elaboraci6n de la primera Lista Mundial de Parques Nacionales y Reservas Equivalentes.

La UICN desempefi6 un papel crucial en la preparacidn de las dos Resoluciones, y desde entonces ha sido la principal responsable de la compilaci6n y actualizaci6n de la Lista. Actualmente la Comisi6n de Parques Nacionales y Areas Protegidas de la UIQ^ junto con el Centro Mundial de Monitoreo de la Conservaci6n, se encarga de preparar la Lista de las Naciones Unidas. La edici6n anterior de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas fue publicada en 1990. Previamente se publicaron otras versiones en 1961/1962, 1966 (versi6n inglesa, 1971), 1972 (adenda a la Lista de 1966/1971), 1973, 1974, 1975, 1980, 1982 y 1985. El tftulo actual se adopt6 en 1982.

La Comision de Parques Nacionales y Areas Protegidas de la UICN

La Comisi6n de Parques Nacionales y Areas Protegidas (CPNAP) de la UICN es el principal 6rgano intemacional de carfcter cientffico y tdcnico encargado de la selecci6n, del establecimiento y del manejo de parques nacionales y otras dreas protegidas. Entre sus miembros figuran mds de 500 especialistas en dreas protegidas, procedentes de unos 120 pafses. La CPNAP cuenta con los servicios del Programa de Areas Protegidas de la UICN, con miras a promover el establecimiento y la gesti6n eficaz de una red mundial de dreas terrestres y marinas protegidas.

Durante la elaboraci6n de la presente edicidn de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas, la CPNAP estuvo presidida por el Sr. P.H.C. (Bing) Lucas de Nueva Zelandia, y el Sr. Adrian Phillips del Reino Unido actu6 como 1993 UN List ofNational Parks and Protected Areas

Presidente Adjunto. La Comisi6n esti organizada sobre una base regional, y cuenta con 14 vicepresidentes regionales y dos vicepresidentes de programas temiticos (Sreas protegidas, marinas y de montana). Por lo general se celebran dos o tres reuniones regionales al afio. Desde que se compil6 la ultima Lista de las Naciones Unidas, se ban celebrado reuniones en Australia, China, Suecia, Repiiblica Dominicana, Italia (para la regi6n de Africa del Norte/Medio Oriente), y ha tenido lugar en Venezuela el IV Congreso Mundial de Parques Nacionales y Areas Protegidas, al que asistieron mis de 1.800 panicipantes procedentes de todo el mundo.

Unidad de Datos sobre Areas Protegidas del WCMC

1 el La Unidad de Datos sobre Areas Protegidas fue creada por la CPNAP en 98 1 , con el fin de procesar creciente volumen de informaci6n disponible y ayudar a la Comisi6n a preparar publicaciones sobre las ireas protegidas en todo el mundo. Acnialmente la Unidad forma parte del Centre Mundial de Monitoreo de la Conservaci6n, con base en Cambridge, Reino Unido. Uno de los objetivos de la labor del WCMC en materia de dreas protegidas es proporcionar informaci6n actualizada y precisa sobre dreas protegidas individuales y sobre los sistemas de ireas protegidas del mundo a todos los que la necesiten o, si no se dispone de ella, averiguar d6nde puede obtenerse rdpidamente.

Con el fin de lograreste objetivo, el WCMC colabora con los numerosos organismos de todo el mundo que se dedican a la gesti(3n de las ireas protegidas, as! como con los espccialistas en conservaci6n y los cientfficos activos en esta esfera. Muchas de las personas interesadas son micmbros de la CPNAP. El WCMC tambi^n tiene una responsabilidad especial en cuanto al procesamiento de la informaci6n sobre Rcservas de la Biosfera y Sitios del Patrimonio Mundial (responsabilidad que le ha sido asignada por la Secretarfa del MAB y el Comitd del Patrimonio Mundial, respectivamente), y colabora con la Mesa Directiva de la Convenci6n de Ramsar (de Humedales) en relaci6n con los sitios enumerados en dicha Convenci6n.

Criterios para la Inclusion

Hay tres criterios en funci6n de los cuales se determina la inclusion de un drea protegida en la Lista de las Naciones Unidas: su tamafio, los objetivos de manejo y la autoridad del organismo de gestidn.

1. Tamafio. S6\o se incluyen 5reas de mds de mil hectdreas, con excepci6n de las islas extracosteras u ocetoicas de por lo menos 100 hectdreas, en cuyo caso se conficre protecci6n a la totalidad de la

isla. Mil hectdreas equivalen a 10 km , 2.471 acres o 3,86 miUas cuadradas.

2. Objetivos de manejo. La UICN/CPNAP ha identificado una serie de categorfas de manejo de dreas protegidas, definidas en funci6n del objetivo de las actividades de manejo. Estas categorfas se han revisado despuds de que se public6 la ultima Lista de las Naciones Unidas, y mds adelante se presentan las definiciones correspondientes a cada una de ellas.

Los sitios designados a nivel nacional se clasifican en las Categorfas pertinentes de la UICN, en funci6n de sus objetivos de manejo definidos juridicamente y de la manera como se tratan de alcanzar esos objetivos. Cuando la informaci6n disponible indica que el manejo del sitio no basta para realizar los objetivos fijados por la legislaci(3n nacional, el sitio se puede suprimir de la Lista o, cuando proceda, se puede incluir en otra categorfa. Entre las razones para adoptar esta decisidn se tiene una utilizaci6n inadecuada, insuficiencia de recursos, invasi6n grave o conflicto civil, factores que a menudo estdn fuera del control del 6rgano de gesti6n. Queda entendido que dicha supresi6n o reclasificacidn puede ser temporal, en espera de recibir informaci6n mds detallada o de se mejore la

situaci6n en el terreno.

La edici6n de 1993 de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas incluye los sitios que figuran en las

Categorfas de Manejo I a V de la UICN. Se pretende incluir en la pr6xima edici6n los sitios de la Categorfa VI. Las ireas protegidas que son igualmente Sitios de Ramsar, Sitios del Patrimonio Mundial o Reservas de la Biosfera, figuran tanto en las lislas nacionales como en las listas de dreas de imporfancia intemacional.

xxxn Introduccidn

3. Autoridad del organismo de gestion. En el pasado s61o sc inclui'an en la Lista de las Naciones Unidas los sitios administrados por la "m5s alta autoridad competente", esto es, el mdximo brgano gubemamental competente. En esta versi6n tanibi6n se han incluido en la Lista los sitios de cuya administraci(3n se encargan autoridadcs estatales en el marco de sistemas federalcs.

La Lista de las Naciones Unidas de 1993 es la cuarta que preparan conjuntamente el WCMC y la

CPNAP y, como en el caso de las tres listas precedentes (publicadas en 1982, 1985 y 1990), 6sta se ha ampliado notablemente, aunque los criterios de inscripcidn hayan permanecido en su mayor parte inalterados. Aunque las redes de dreas protegidas sc han extendido considcrablemcnte, la ampliaci6n de la Lista obedece en gran parte a la mejora de la informaci6n disponible, y a nucstra mayor capacidad para compilar y procesar los datos. Al utilizar la Lista es importante tener en cuenta este aspecto.

Formato de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas

Los sitios que satisfacen los criterios antes mencionados se clasifican pafs por pafs (siguiendo el orden alfabdtico del nombre del pais en inglds). Para cada pafs, los sitios figuran en orden alfabdtico segun la designaci6n nacional (por ejemplo, parques nacionales, reservas naturales, santuarios de vida silvestre). Para cada sitio se proporciona tres tipos de informaci^n: su categoria de manejo segiin la UICN, su dimensi6n (en hectdreas) y el ano de creaci(3n (o de modificaci6n importante en tamano o designaci6n). En esta lista tambidn se proporciona por primera vez una latitud/longitud central para cada sitio. El Centro Mundial de Monitoreo de la Conservaci6n posee informaci6n mds detallada sobre cada uno de estos sitios.

Por razones prdcticas, la Lista de las Naciones Unidas dc 1993 se ha ordenado siguiendo el listado de los paises en inglds, pororden alfabdtico. Los lectores de lengua francesa y espafiola deber^ consultar los glosarios que figuran en las pdginas xxvii a xlvi; dstos conticnen una traducci6n de los nombres de los pafses del francos al inglds y del espafiol al inglds, respectivamente. Para ayudar a los lectores a ubicar secciones especi'ficas de la Lista, se proprociona una secucncia de encabezamientos en inglds. Andlogamente, los datos resumidos que

figuran al comienzo de cada secci6n nacional se titulan y anotan en ingles unicamente. Los tdrminos equivalentes son "Sommaire" y "Categoric" en francos, y "Resumen" y "Catcgon'a" enespanol.

Compilacion de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas

El WCMC y la CPNAP vienen compilando y procesando informaci6n sobre drcas protegidas desde hace varios aiios, y actualmente se cuenta con una cantidad importante de inform aci6n, parte de la cual ha sido publicada. El Centro y la Comisi<3n reciben constantemente nuevas infonmaciones. Al preparar la Lista de las Naciones Unidas de 1993, el personal del WCMC analiz6 el material existente y revis(3 y actualiz6 las listas de dreas protegidas (que incluyen la correspondiente Categoria de Manejo de la UICN para cada sitio). Los borradores

de las listas de cada pais se enviaron a los 6rganos nacionales encargados de la gesti<3n, junto con una petici6n para que fueran verificados, actualizados y devueltos. Sobre la base de la infonnaci(3n recibida, el personal del WCMC revis6 esas listas preliminares, resolviendo las cuestiones pendientes a trav^s de sus contactos en los paises interesados o con los miembros de la CPNAP.

Se envi6 copia de las listas revisadas, tanto a los Vicepresidentes Regionales de la CPNAP, como a la

Secreteria de la UICN para sus comentarios. Las respuestas de los 6rganos nacionales de gesti6n fueron muy variadas. Se formularon en total unas 455 peticiones. En el caso de las naciones federales, como los Estados Unidos, las peticiones se enviaron a las diferentes autoridades estatales, y en los casos en los cuales las responsabilidad de las dreas protegidas corresponde a mSs de un organismo, se enviaron multiples peticiones

al mismo pais. En Octubre de 1993 se habi'an recibido 226 respuestas, es decir el 49% del total de peticiones. El mayormimero de respuestas provino de Australia con un 88% de respuesta y el menorde Africa francdpariante

con s61o el 18% de respuesta. Cuando no se rccibl6 informaci6n de fucntes oficiales, los datos se extrajeron, siempre fue posible, de materiales publicados y de otras fuentes. 1993 UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas

Como se indica en otra secci6n del presente documenlo, durante 1993 se compil6 informaci6n de los organismos encargados de la gestidn para elaborar la nueva Lista de las Naciones Unidas. Como parte de ese ejercicio, se proporcion6 a cada uno de esos organismos un texto con una descripci6n sucinta del actual Sistema de Categorfas de Manejo de la UICN, junto con la petici(3n de que se aplicase a cada sitio la categorfa pertinente

(al final de esta introducci6n se presenta un resumen de ese sistema de categorias). La informaci6n contenida en la Lista de las Naciones Unidas ha sido clasificada con base en ese sistema de categorfas, que ya se habfa establecido en el momento de compilar los datos.

A mediados de 1993 el Consejo de la UICN, atendiendo el concepto de la CPNAP tras un an^isis efectuado en el IV Congreso Mundial de Parques Nacionales y Areas Protegidas, aprob6 un nuevo sistema de categorfas de manejo de 5reas protegidas. Este sistema se introduce a trav^s de la publicaci6n de las Directrices sobre las Categorias de Manejo de Areas Protegidas. Las categorfas utilizadas en este nuevo sistema tambi^n se reumen en el Anexo. Las ediciones ulteriores de la Lista de las Naciones Unidas se clasificarto de conformidad con este nuevo sistema.

Exactitud y calidad de la informacion

El sistema mundial de dreas protegidas cstd evolucionando rSpidamcntc: se crean nuevas dreas, se modifican las fronteras de las existentes, y algunos sitios son destruidos per el desarroUo industrial, la agricultura itinerante, los desastres naturales o las guerras civiles. Serfa muy diffcil asegurar firmemente que en los liltimos afios la conservaci6n ha hecho progresos netos en lo que respecta a la supcrficie de tierras o aguas protegidas.

No se trata simplcmente de las hcctireas protegidas o del niimcro de drcas protegidas, sino mis bien de la eficacia de las actividades de manejo. ^.Estln alcanzando las Ireas protegidas los objetivos para los cuales se crearon?

La calidad de la informaci6n utilizada para compilar la Lista de las Naciones Unidas es muy variable, y aun se carece de informaci6n sobre la eficacia de la gesti6n en varies pafscs. Aunque en la Lista figura la gran mayorfa de los parques nacionales que satisfacen los criterios pertinentes, la informaci6n sobre las otras categorfas de ireas protegidas sigue siendo incompleta, y habri que obtcncr muchos mds datos para tener la certeza de que las listas estan completas para cada categorfa de manejo. En la Lista de las Naciones Unidas no se ban incluido las dreas de tres importantes sectores, a saber, cl forestal, cl privado y las reservas indfgenas ya sea porque las Sreas correspondientes no satisfacen los criterios, o bien porque la informaci6n disponible es incompleta. No obstante, la contribuci6n de estos tres sectores a la conservacidn y al desarrollo sustentable es considerable.

De confonnidad con los datos compilados por el WCMC, las ireas manejadas en el sector forestal cubren mds del 1 0% de las regiones tropicales. En todas estas regiones tropicalcs la polftica forestal se estS modificando radicalmente, y se estS haciendo cada vez mayor hincapid en un enfoque equilibrado para la producci6n y conservaci6n sustentables. Sin embargo, aiin queda mucho por hacer, y es necesario que muchos pafses evaliien debidamente el valor de sus bosques desde el punto de vista de la conservaci6n. Tras un anilisis inicial de las

reservas forestalesde los pafses que poseen bosques tropicales, llevada a cabo con el apoyo de la Administraci6n para el Desarrollo de Ultramar (Overseas Development Administration) del Reino Unido, el WCMC sigue

trabajando con miras al an^isis sistemdtico de los sistemas de reservas forestales de todos los pafses, con el

fin de ayudar a evaluar su contribuci6n a los objetivos de conservaci6n de la naturaleza.

Por razones 6ticas y pricticas, existe cierta divergencia de opiniones, respecto de la medida en la cual las reservas indfgenas pueden ser consideradas como ireas de conservaci6n. La importancia que revisten estas dreas para la conservacidn de la naturaleza es incuestionable, dado que las reservas indfgenas cubren en conjunto una supcrficie del tamafio de Australia, y en general corrcspondcn marcadamente a regiones de gran riqueza biol6gica. Colombia, por ejcmplo, ha cedido mis del 25% de su tcrritorio a las poblaciones aut6ctonas, y la mayorfa de esas tierras se encuentran en regiones de bosques tropicalcs con gran diversidad biol6gica. Dado que cada vez es mis necesario que los encargados de la conscrvaci6n entablcn un diilogo con las

poblaciones aut6ctonas , con miras a la conservaci6n conjunta dc la diversidad cultural y biol6gica, la infonnaci6n sobre las reservas indfgenas es cada vez mds importante. Introduccidn

A diferencia de las ireas que caen dentro del tobito de los otros dos sectores mencionados, normalmente las 5reas protegidas del sector privado no son significativas en cuanto a la superficie que cubren, pero son importantes a causa de la calidad del manejo y del grado de protecci6n que se les connere. Las 5reas privadas comprenden zonas administradas per fundaciones y empresas privadas, asf como las establecidas y manejadas per las propias comunidades. Hay numerosos ejemplos notables de iniciativas privadas que sirven de apoyo y complemento a los sistemas estatales: The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds en el Reino Unido, The Nature Conservancy en America del Norte, la Fundaci6n Moisds Bcrtone en Paraguay y la Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature en Jordania. La importancia de las ^reas protegidas de propiedad privada puede ir en aumento, especialmente en los pafses tropicales, en los cuales los recursos estatales son muy limitados.

Sin duda alguna la Lista de las Naciones Unidas de 1993 incluye errores y omisiones, pero se espera que

^stos sirvan para cstimular el envfo de informaciones mds precisas. Los editores asumen la responsabilidad de esos errores y omisiones, y ruegan que cualquicr correcci6n o actualizaci6n se comunique a:

Categorias de Manejo de Areas Protegidas de 1978

I. Reserva Natural EstrictalReserva Cientifica. Su fin es proteger la naturaleza y tnantener inalterados los procesos naturales, con el objeto de contar con ejemplos ecol6gicainente representativos del medio ambiente natural, para fines cientfficos, de monitoreo ambiental, de educacidn y de mantenimiento de los recursos gendticos en un estado dindmico y evolutive.

II. Parque Nacional. Su fin es proteger ireas naturales y esc^nicas sobresalientes de importancia nacional o intemacional para usos cientfficos, educativos y recreativos. Son 5reas relativamente grandes que no han sido sustancialmente altcradas por la actividad humana, y donde no se permite la utilizaci6n de recursos naturales con fines extractivos.

III. Monumento Natural. Su fin es preservar y proteger elementos naturales especfficos de relevancia nacional, debido a sus caracterfsticas linicas o su interns especial. Estas dreas son relativamente pequefias y estto enfocadas a la protecci6n de rasgos naturales especfficos.

IV. Reserva Natural ManejadalSantuario de Vida Silvestre. Su fin es garantizar las condiciones naturales necesarias para proteger esf)ecies de relevancia nacional, grupos de especies, comunidades bi6ticas

caracterfsticas fisicas del medio ambiente cuando estos requieran de manipulaci6n artificial humana para su perpetuaci6n. El aprovechamiento controlado de algunos de sus recursos naturales puede permitirse.

V. Paisajes Terrestres o Marinas Protegidas. Su fin es mantener paisajes de relevancia nacional, que scan caracterfsticos de una interaccidn arm6nica entre el hombre y la tierra a la vez que proveer oportunidades de goce publico a trav6s de la recreaci6n y del turismo, dentro del contexto del estilo de vida local y de las actividades econ6micas propias del sitio. Son 5reas que contienen un mosaico de paisajes naturales y culturales de gran calidad escdnica y donde se mantienen los usos tradicionales del suelo. Lexique frangais/anglais

Analisis de la informacion

Analysis of Information

All of the information provided in this UN List is stored within a computer database, and a wide range of other information is held about each site (and about many other sites not covered here). Some of this information will be analysed in publications by WCMC and lUCN staff As an indication of this analytic capability, two graphs and two tables have been included within the UN List.

Growth of the world coverage of protected areas

Two graphs are provided, one illustrating growth in the number and area of protected areas with time (Figure 1), and the other illustrating growth in the number and area within each five year period (Figure 2). It should be noted that establishment of the Northeast Greenland National Park in 1974 (97 million hectares), the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in 1979 (35 million hectares) and Jiang Tang Nature Reserve in 1990 (24 million hectares) have a very significant effect on the graphs, as these sites are at least an order of magnitude larger than most others on the UN List.

Biogeography

As in the previous four editions of the list each of the areas has been located within one of the biogeographical provinces defined by Udvardy (1975), although the province concerned is not actually identified within this list. Of the 9,832* protected areas qualifying for inclusion in the UN List, the Udvardy province is known for 8,562. The remaining 1,270 sites include a number of marine areas which cannot be classified within the Udvardy system. The system of biogeographical provinces of the world defined by Udvardy for lUCN divides the world into eight realms, subdivided into 193 provinces, with each province being characterised by one of

14 biome types. This information is used to provide a crude analysis of coverage both by province, and by biome type.

Table 1 provides a summary of protected area coverage (number of sites and total area) of each of the realms and provinces recognised by Udvardy. Approximately 25% of biogeographical provinces appear to have more than 10% of their area within protected areas. However, when analysing this data various limitations of the system must be considered, resulting both from its relative crudity, and, forexample, differences in size between provinces. A 5,000 hectare protected area in the relatively small Malagasy Thorn Forest province, forexample, would protect a much larger section of that province than an equivalent sized reserve in the huge Somalian province. A number of provinces appear to have 100% or more protection; this is usually due to marine protected areas being included, whilst the extent of the provinces is based on terrestrial area alone. While the results are sufficient to illustrate patchy coverage, more detailed analysis is necessary to determine real needs and priorities.

Table 2 provides a summary of protected area coverage (number of sites and total area) by biome type, indicating the proportion of each biome type protected within each realm. This ranges from as low as 0.69% in temperate grasslands, to a little under 10% in mixed island systems.

Summarisation of coverage by biome gives a first approximation of how well the major ecological fonmations are protected, although there is, of course, considerable variation of protection within biomes. It is important to appreciate that biome type docs not mean the same as habitat type; a protected area within a tropical humid forest biome may not necessarily contain tropical humid forest, and an area containing tropical humid forest could occur in another biome altogether (such as mixed island systems). Note in this regard that Udvardy identifies all of Indonesia, Sabah and Sarawak and the Philippines as mixed island systems rather than tropical

245 1993 UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas

humid forest. Also, as was noted above for provinces, it is important to realise that there arc significant differences between the areas covered by different biome types. For example, in the Neotropics there are extensive areas covered by the tropical humid forest biome (about a quarter of the continent), but only a small area covered by the lake systems biome (Lake Titicaca on the Peru/Bolivia border). Analyse de Tinformation

Toute rinformation donnde dans la Liste des Nations Unies est stockte dans la base de donndes informatisde duWCMC qui ddtientbeaucoupd'autres informations surchaque site (etsurbeaucoupd'autres sites ne figurant pas dans la Lisle). Une panic de cette information sera analys6e dans des publications, par le personnel du CMSC, entre autrcs. Deux graphiques et deux tableaux pr^sentant cette capacity analytique ont €l€ inclus dans la Listejies Nations Unies.

Expansion de la superficie mondiale des aires protegees

Les deux graphiques illustrent, respectivement I'augmentation du nombre et de la superficie des aires protdg&s dans le temps (Figure 1) et I'augmentation du nombre et de la superficie par p^riode de cinq ans (Figure 2). II convientde noterque la crdation du Pare national du Nord-Est du Groenland, en 1974 (97 millions d'hectares), du Pare marin du R6cif de la Grande-Barriere en 1979 (35 millions d'hectares) et de la Reserve naturelle de Jiang Tang en 1990(24 millions d'hectares) a eu un effct tr6s marqud surles graphiques, carl'ordre de grandeur de ces sites est pour le moins sup<5rieur ^ celui de la plupan des autres sites de la Liste des Nations Unies.

Biogeograpliie

Comme dans les quatre Editions pr^c^dentes de la Liste, chacune des aires a dtd replacde dans une des provinces biogdographiques ddfinies par Udvardy (1975), meme si la province en question n'est pas r6ellement identifide dans cette Liste. Sur les 9832* aires prot^g&s rf^pondant aux entires d 'inscription sur la Liste des Nations

Unies, 8562 correspondent ^ des provinces reconnues par Udvardy. Les 1270 sites restants comprennent un certain nombre d'aires marines qui ne rentrent pas dans le rdseau ddfini par Udvardy. Le systfeme mondial de provinces biog(5ographiques d^fini par Udvardy pour I'UIQ^I divise le monde en huit domaines, subdivisds en

193 provinces, chacune dtant caractdrisde par un des 14 types de biomes. Cette information est utilisde pour dormer une analyse brute de la couverture par province et par type de biome.

Le Tableau 1 propose un rdsumd de la couverture des aires protdg&s (nombre de sites et superficie totale) de chacun des domaines ct provinces reconnus par Udvardy. Environ 25% des provinces biog6ographiques ont plus de 10% de leur superficie incluse dans des aires protdgdes. Toutefois, dans 1 'analyse de ces donndes, il convient de prendre en consideration diverses limites du systeme, venant ^ la fois de sa simplicit6 relative et, par exemple, de dimensions diffdrentes entre les provinces. Une aire protdgde de 5000 hectares dans la province relativement petite de la forct dpineuse malgache, par exemple, protege une plus grande proportion de cette province qu 'une reserve de taille dquivalente dans I'immense province somalienne. Plusieurs provinces semblent bdndficier d'un degrd de protection de 100%, voire davantage; cela est g6n6ralement dii au fait que les aires protdgdes marines sont incluses, cependant que I'dtendue des provinces estexclusivement fondde sur les terres 6mergdes. Mors que les rdsultats sont suffisants pour illustrer une couverture en "patchwork", une analyse plus precise est ndcessaire pour determiner les besoins et les prioritds rdels.

Le Tableau 2 propose un rdsumd de la couverture des aires protdgdes (nombre de sites et superficie totale) par type de biome, et indique quelle proportion de chaque type de biome est protdgde dans chaque domaine.

Celle-ci s'dchelonne entre 0,69%, dans les prairies tempdrdes, et un peu plus de 10%, dans les systfemes insulaires mixtes.

Le rdsumd de la couverture par biome donne un premier apergu de la protection rdelle des principales formations dcologiques bien qu'il y ait, naturellement, des variations considerables dans le degrd de protecfion

^ I'intdrieur de chaque biome. 11 importe de retenir que "type de biome" n'a pas le meme sens que "type

Analisis de la informacion

Toda la informaci6n suministrada en esta lista de las Naciones Unidas es almacenada en una base de datos computarizada, la cual incluye ademds una amplia gama de informacion adicional sobre cada sitio, asf como sobre muchos otros sitios no cubiertos aquf. Parte de 6sta informaci6n ser5 analizada en publicaciones elaboradas por el personal del WCMC y de la UICN. Como indicaci6n de esta capacidad analftica, se han incluido dos grdficos y dos tablas en la lista de las Naciones Unidas.

Expansion de la superficie mundial de ^reas protegidas

Se suministran dos grSficos, uno ilustrando el crecimiento en el numero y el 4rea dc las dreas protegidas a trav6s de los anos (Figura 1) y el otro ilustrando el crecimiento del numero y del drca en perfodos de cinco aflos (Figura 2). Se debe resaltarque el establecimiento del Parque Nacional Northeast Greenland (Northeast

Greenland National Park) en 1974 (97 millones de hect^reas), el Parque Marino Great Barrier Reef (the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park) en 1979 (35 millones de hectSreas) y la Rcserva Natural Jiang Tang (Jiang Tang Nature Reserve) en 1990 (24 millones de hectSreas) tienen un efecto significativo en los grSficos, ya que estos sitios son mis grandes, al menos en un orden de magnitud, que la mayon'a de los otros en la lista de las Naciones Unidas.

Biogeografi'a

Asf como en los cuatro ediciones previas de la lista, cada una de las Sreas ha sido ubicada dentro de una de las provincias biogeogrdficas definas por Udvardy ( 1 975), a pesar de que la provincia concemiente no se encuentre identificada en esta lista. De las 9.832* dreas protegidas que califican para ser incluidas en la Lista de las

Naciones Unidas, se conoce la provincia de Udvardy en 8.562 de ellas. Los 1.270 sitios restantes corresponden a una cantidad de dreas marinas que no pueden ser clasificadas dentro del sistema de Udvardy. El sistema mundial de provincias biogeogrlficas defmido per Udvardy para la UICN divide el mundo en ocho reinos, subdivididos en 193 provincias, siendo cada provincia caracterizada por uno de los catorce tipos de bioma.

Esta informaci6n es utilizada para proveer un andlis bruto de la cantidad de dreas protegidas en t^rminos de provincia y tipo de bioma.

La Tabla 1 presenta un resumen de la cobertura de 5reas protegidas (numero de sitios y drea total) en cada uno de los reinos y provincias reconocidos por Udvardy. Aproximadamente 25% de las provincias biogeogrdficas parecen tener mas del 1 0% de su drea dentro de dreas protegidas. Sin embargo, al analizar estos datos se deben tener en cuenta una serie de limitaciones presentes en este sistema, las cuales surgen por la naturaleza bruta de los datos y por diferencias en tamafio entre las provincias. Por ejemplo, un 5rea protegida de 5.000 hectdreas en la relativamente pequena provincia de bosque espinoso de Madagascar (Malagasy Thorn

Forest province) protegerd una secci6n mayor de dicha provincia que una reserva equivalente en tamafio en la enorme provincia Somali (Somalian province). Varias provincias parecen tener una protecci6n del 100% o mds. Usualmente esto se debe a que estto siendo incluidas dreas protegidas marinas, si bien la extensi6n de las provincias estd basada en dreas terrestres solamente. Si bien los resultados son suficiente para ilustrar la cobertura por parches de las dreas protegidas, hace falta un an^isis mis detallado para determinar las necesidades reales y las prioridades.

La Tabla 2 presenta un resumen de la cobertura en dreas protegidas (numero de sitios y drea total) por tipo de bioma, indicando la proporci6n de cada tipo de bioma protegido dentro de cada reino. Esto fluctua desde

249 1993 UN List ofNational Parks and Protected Areas

porcentajes tan bajos como 0.69% en praderas templadas, hasta un poco menos de 10% en sistemas insulares mixtos.

Un resumen de la cobertura de ^reas protegidas por bioma permite una primera aproximaci6n de cuan adecuada es la protecci6n dedicada a las mayores formaciones ecol6gicas, aunque por su puesto existe una variaci6n considerable de protecci6n dentro de los diferentes biomas. Es importante tener en cuenta que tipo de bioma no significa lo mismo que tipo de habitat. Un 5rea protegida en un bosque humedo tropical puede no contener bosque hiimedo tropical, y un Irea que contenga bosque humedo tropical puede presentarse en otro

tipo de bioma completamente diferente, tal como un sistema insular mixto. N6tese en este sentido que Udvardy identifica toda Indonesia, Malasia Insular y las Filipinas como sistemas insulares mixtos, en lugar de como bosque humedo tropical. Asi mismo, tal como fue indicado en el caso de las provincias, es importante comprender que hay diferencias significativas entre las dreas cubiertas por biomas diferentes. Porejemplo, en

el Neotr6pico hay dreas extensas cubiertas por bioma de bosque humedo tropical (aproximadamente un cuarto

del continente), pero s61o una pequefia drea cubierta por el bioma de sistemas de lagos (El Lago Titicaca en la frontera Peru/Bolivia). Analysis ofInformation 1993 UN List ofNational Parks and Protected Areas Analysis ofInformation

260 World Heritage Sites

The Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted in Paris in 1972, and came into force in December 1975. The Convention provides for the designation of areas of "outstanding universal value" as world heritage sites, with the principal aim of fostering international cooperation in safeguarding these important areas. Sites, which must be nominated by the signatory nation responsible, are evaluated for their worid heritage quality before being declared by the World Heritage Committee. Only natural sites are considered here.

Article 2 of the Worid Heritage Convention considers as natural heritage: natural features consisting of physical and biological formations or groups of such formations, which are of outstanding universal value from the aesthetic or scientific point of view; geological or physiographical formations and precisely delineated areas which constitute the habitat of threatened species of animals and plants of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation; and natural sites or precisely delineated areas of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty. Criteria for inclusion in the List are published by Unesco.

Biens du patrimoine mondial

La Convention concernant la protection du patrimoine mondial, culturel et natural a 6l6 adopt6e ^ Paris en 1972 et est entr6e en vigueur en d6cembre 1975. La Convention prdvoit la ddsignation de rdgions de "valeur universelle exceptionnelle" en tant que biens du patrimoine mondial, dans le but premier d'encourager la cooperation intemationale pour la sauvegarde de ces regions importantes.

276 Biosphere Reserves

The establishment of biosphere reserves is not covered by a specific convention, but is part of an international scientific programme, the Unesco Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. The objectives of the network of biosphere reserves, and the characteristics which biosphere reserves might display, are identified in various Unesco-MAB documents, including the Action Plan for Biosphere Reserves published in 1984.

Biosphere Reserves differ fTX)m the preceding types of site in that they are not exclusively designated to protect unique areas or important wetlands, but for a range of objectives which include research, monitoring, training and demonstration, as well as conservation roles. In most cases the human component is vital to the functioning of the biosphere reserve which does not necessarily hold for either World Heritage or Ramsar sites. A further fundamental difference is the stated aim of developing a biosphere reserve network representative of the world's ecosystems.

Reserves de la Biosphere

La creation de rdserves de la biosphere ne relive d 'aucune convention mais entre dans le cadre d'un programme scientifique international, le Programme de I'UNESCO sur Thomme et la biosphere (Programme MAB). Les objectifs du r^seau de reserves de la biosphere et les caractdristiques qui doivent etre celle des reserves de la biosphere sont ddfinis dans divers documents UNESCO-MAB, notamment le Plan d 'action pour les reserves de la biosphere, public en 1984.

Les r6serves de la biosphere different des sites ddcrits pr6c6demment en ce qu 'elles ne sont pas exclusivement ddsigndes afm de protdger des regions uniques ou des zones humides importantes mais pour toutes sortes d'autres raisons, notamment la recherche, la surveillance continue, la formation et la demonstration, sans oublierla conservation. Dans la plupart des cas, I'dldment humain est vital pour le fonctionnementdes reserves de la biosphere ce qui n'est pas ndcessairement le cas pour les biens du patrimoine mondial ou les sites Ramsar. Autre difference fondamentale: un des objectifs fixds consiste ^ mettre sur pied un rdseau de reserves de la biosphere reprdsentatif des dcosyst&mes de la plan^te.

Reserves de la Biosfera

El establecimiento de reservas de la biosfera no estd cubierto por ninguna convenci6n especffica, pero es parte de un programa cientffico intemacional: el Programa de la UNfESCO del Hombre y la Biosfera (MAB). Los objetivos de la red de reservas de la biosfera, y las caracterfsticas de las cuales que puede tener una reserva, se encuentran en varios documentos de la Unesco-MAB, entre los cuales se incluye el Plan de Acci6n para Reservas de la Biosfera publicado en 1984.

La diferencia fundamental entre las reservas de la biosfera y los tipx^s de sitios antes expuestos estd en que estas no son designadas exclusivamente para proteger Ireas linicas o humedales importantes, sino por una gama de objetivos, desde investigaci6n, monitoreo, entrenamiento y demostraci6n hasta conservaci6n. En la mayona de los casos el componente humano es vital para el funcionamiento de las reservas de la biosfera, lo cual no se aplicanecesariamente ni en el caso de los sitios del Patrimonio Mundial o en los sitios Ramsar. Otra diferencia fundamental est5 en el objetivo manifiesto de desarrollar una red de reservas de la biosfera representativa de los ecosistemas del mundo.
