IUCN WCPA Technical Note 11: Protected and Conserved Areas: Vital Solutions for Biodiversity, Climate, and Human Health

Protected and conserved Areas are vital solutions to a range of critical global problems. They are fundamental in avoiding the loss of biodiversity, are essential contributors to mitigating and adapting to climate change and are the first line of defence in avoiding future pandemics. Dramatically increasing the quality and quantity of protected and conserved areas is essential for a nature positive world that benefits people.
