Involving collaboration among specialist practitioners dedicated to supporting better implementation in the field, they distil learning and advice drawn from across IUCN. Applied in the field, they are building institutional and individual capacity to manage protected area systems effectively, equitably and sustainably, and to cope with the myriad of challenges faced in practice. They also assist national governments, protected area agencies, nongovernmental organisations, communities and private sector partners to meet their commitments and goals, and especially the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Programme of Work on Protected Areas. A full set of guidelines is available at: www.iucn.org/pa_guidelines Complementary resources are available at: www.cbd.int/protected/tools/ Contribute to developing capacity for a Protected Planet at: www.protectedplanet.net/ PARKS is published electronically twice a year by IUCN’s World Commission on Protected Areas. For more informaon see: parksjournal.com PARKS is published to strengthen internaonal collaboraon in protected area development and management by: exchanging informaon on praccal management issues, especially learning from case studies of applied ideas; serving as a global forum for discussing new and emerging issues that relate to protected areas; promong understanding of the values and benefits derived from protected areas to communies, visitors, business etc; ensuring that protected areas fulfill their primary role in nature conservaon while addressing crical issues such as ecologically sustainable development, social jusce and climate change adaptaon and migaon; changing and improving protected area support and behaviour through use of informaon provided in the journal; and promong IUCN’s work on protected areas.
