Накратко на български

Социалната справедливост при управлението на защитените територии се анализира чрез конкретни местни примери. Това е важно, защото пренебрегването на правата на местните общности може да доведе до провал на опазването на природата или до по-високи разходи за държавите.

Social equity goals in conservation interventions: a system thinking approach to track progress at global level

Aichi Target 11 (AT11), adopted by 193 Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2010, states that protected areas (PAs) must be equitably managed by 2020. The rationale behind equity concerns in AT11 is that benefits arising from PAs are experienced at multiple scales, including global, whereas the burdens associated with PAs fall predominantly on local stakeholders. Besides ethical issues about social equity, a lack of understanding and efforts to address social inequity in PAs at local scales can result in failed conservation or can make conservation more costly for governments and donors. Equity refers to minimum standards that all members of society are entitled to. Social equity in PAs refers to “PAs established and managed in close collaboration with, and through equitable processes that recognize and respect the rights of indigenous and local communities, and vulnerable populations; and such costs and benefits of the areas are fairly shared” (CBD, 2010). However, significant challenges remain in terms of actual operationalization of equitable management in PAs and its progress report on AT11. These challenges include, among others, the lack of a standardized approach to assess and monitor social equity and the difficulty of reducing social equity to a series of metrics and global indexes. The aim of this project was to develop an innovative and interdisciplinary methodological approach to track global achievement of equity in PAs from case studies; specifically: To build a common understanding to facilitate the integration of current multidisciplinary approaches addressing equity. To gather information and evidence available related to equity in PAs from multiple cases at local scale. To assess equity in PAs and track progress on reaching the goal of equitably managed PAs in the AT11.

Цел на проекта

The rapid decline of the planet’s biodiversity has prompted governments to adopt an ambitious target to halt the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services by 2020 through the expansion of protected sites, the Aichi Target 11. Despite this target includes the commitment to reach equitable protected sites that should do no harm local people, we still do not have an adequate way to track progress towards achieving equity in conservation interventions. Global indicators are ineffective in capture the complexity and interactions of multiple factors influencing well-being of local communities. The evidence from case studies at local level show ambiguous conclusions that provide little support for broader scale decision making due to the lack of agreed conceptual understanding and standardized methodologies. The aim of this project is build up an innovative methodological approach to track global achievement of equity in conservation interventions from cases studies. This project employs system thinking methods to conceptualize equity in conservation interventions as a dynamic system. This project will gather the scattered information from multiple datasets and case studies and bring them into this system to simulate their behaviour over time by modelling tools. The project will be hosted by an interdisciplinary group, integrating the methodological expertise on conservation interventions and modelling of the CMEC, with the experience analysing governance regimes and politics issues, economic and livelihoods strategies of IFRO, at the University of Copenhagen. The project will focus on policy relevant analyses, taking advantage of a strong collaboration with the WCMC in UK for communication and implementation of outcomes. The outcomes from this project will comprise the first contribution to tracking our progress on reaching equity in conservation interventions, which is necessary to support critical decision making and actions.
