The
Protected Area "User Manual" Concept
The
World Parks Congress in Durban South Africa September 2003 will
be an important milestone in the evolution and development
of protected area management philosophy, principles and practice.
An extraordinary amount of protected area management information
will be generated for the Congress. Even more exciting and useful
information will be generated at the actual workshop streams and
other Congress sessions as
well as the all important Durban Accord,
a statement arising from the Congress that will guide and influence
protected area management into the future. Add to this the best
practice and other information
IUCN WCPA has systematically generated over many years and there
will be at one point in time, a collection of information of enormous
potential to help protected area management practitioners.
IUCN WCPA plans to ensure
that this information is assembled and made available for park managers
and others. The vision is simple. A "protected area user
manual" will be created following the Congress as a single
unified text. It will be a clear, cohesive, practical and an integrated
publication that will provide essential information to underpin
the effective management of terrestrial and marine protected areas
in the 21st Century.
IUCN WCPA has provided
a name for this "Users Manual". It will be titled Managing
Protected Areas in the 21st Century, and is programmed to be
completed as early as possible after the Congress. The product will
be an IUCN WCPA book. It will be managed so that it can be web-accessible
and can be generated in a CD-ROM format. It will be clearly distinguishable
from other Durban Congress products including the State
of the World Parks report and the UN
list of National Parks.
