THE
DURBAN LINK
Renforcer les aires protégées:
Dix domaines d'action privilégiés pour la décennie à venir
It became
clear during IUCN's Vth World Parks Congress in Durban that the
key to linkages is that parks exist not as unique islands, but
as places in a matrix.
An effective system of protected areas is essential for conserving biodiversity
but is not efficient: protected areas need to be planned and managed as an
integral part of the global bio-cultural matrix. Protected areas both need,
and can provide for, ecological, cultural and social resilience. They are indeed
the "resilience parachutes" of the world, concentrates of biological
and cultural diversity.
In THE DURBAN LINK ten target areas for action to strengthen
protected areas are listed that were recognised by IUCN's Vth World Parks Congress.
These ten target areas for action are essential steps for achieving more sustainable
protected areas - while solving other pressing social and environmental issues.
THE
DURBAN LINK has been launched by Peter Bridgewater,
Secretary General of the Ramsar
Convention, at the 25 years celebration of the Tri-lateral
Wadden Sea Cooperation on 22 October 2003 in Willemshafen,
Germany. For this occasion THE DURBAN LINK
has been translated into the official languages of the
countries involved: Dutch, German and Danish.
