The @unepwcmc blog shines a spotlight on the quality of #conservation efforts, examining whether protected and coserved areas are governed equitably, effectively and upholds the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

[UNEP-WCMC @unepwcmc]

The global stocktake on the state of the world's #ProtectedAreas and #ConservedAreas as of March 2025 shows a positive trend.

But when measuring the quality elements of #Target3 of the #KMGBF, how effective are these areas?

Had an exciting time talking about my @TaPRA_ @WomensHistNet funded research and messy backstories of performers at #TaPRA2024 for Theatre and Performance Histories/Performance, Identity and Community WGs @NorthumbriaUni 🐉

[Sejuti Basu @Sej_B]

Designating 30% of the planet as protected and conserved is not enough. We should care about where they are and how they are managed.

[UNEP-WCMC @unepwcmc]

Target 3 of the #GBF is critical to addressing the nature crisis, but is far from the entire solution.🌍

Our latest blog by Heather Bingham, lead of the @protectedplanet initiative, stresses the need for a standardised system to monitor & track progress: https://t.co/r4uorTXc7C
