This presentation introduces the IUCN protected area categories and explains how they can be used to record national protected area data and to plan protected area systems

Protected areas cover ~11.3% of the world’s land surface and a growing amount of ocean – most have been set up in the last fifty years. This is the largest and fastest conscious change in management objective in history.

Protected areas also vary with respect to who is in charge…ranging from government employees to local communities

IUCN and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre have developed a typology of protected area management objectives to help to distinguish different approaches and aid reporting in the World Database on Protected Areas
![Page 12: Making sense of protected areas The role of the IUCN category systems Nigel Dudley, for Conservation International.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f155503460f94c2ae45/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The system includes a definition of a protected area and six management categories, one of which is divided into two subsections

DEFINITION OF A PROTECTED AREA

Twelve Apostles marine protected area, Victoria, Australia
To be recognised as a protected area, a site must first fit the definition of a protected area; it can then be assigned a category
![Page 20: Making sense of protected areas The role of the IUCN category systems Nigel Dudley, for Conservation International.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f155503460f94c2ae45/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Strict nature reserve: mainly for science or wilderness protection IaWilderness area: mainly for wilderness protection IbNational park: mainly for ecosystem protection and recreation IINatural monument: mainly for conservation of specific natural features IIIHabitat / species management area: mainly for conservation of species and habitat
IV
Protected landscape / seascape: mainly for landscape/seascape conservation or recreation
V
Managed resource protected area: mainly for the sustainable use of natural resources
VI
Fitting within the definition, the protected area categories encompass the full range of accepted management models
