Abstract As part of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (K‐M GBF), signatory nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aim to protect at least 30% planet by 2030 (Target 3). This bold ambition has been widely celebrated and its implementation seen as pivotal for overall success K‐M GBF. However, given that many CBD prioritised quantity (e.g., area) over quality important areas biodiversity) when attempting meet their 2010 Aichi protected area commitments, it is critical focus protecting those terrestrial, inland waters marine have best chance halting reversing biodiversity loss thus contribute Goal A Here we provide a review type need prioritise implementing Target 3 relates ‘quality’: particular importance ecosystem functions services, are effectively conserved managed through ecologically representative, well‐connected equitably governed systems . We show data available 12 distinct conservation service elements can be mapped and, if conserved, will (with appropriate management) help broad intention 3. highlight examples planning methods utilized so these targeted protection. discuss issues related trade‐offs regarding how amongst them well operationalise some vaguer concepts like ‘representation’ ‘ecosystem services’ they achieve outcomes biodiversity.

Abstract Kelp forests are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, but they increasingly being degraded and lost due to a range of human‐related stressors, leading recent calls for their improved management conservation. One primary tools conserve marine species biodiversity is establishment protected areas (MPAs). International commitments protect 30% world's gaining momentum, offering promising avenue secure kelp into Anthropocene. However, clear understanding efficacy MPAs conserving in changing ocean lacking. In this perspective, we question whether strengthened global protection will create meaningful conservation outcomes forests. We explore benefits under suite different focusing empirical evidence from show that can be effective against some drivers loss (e.g., overgrazing, harvesting), particularly when maintained long‐term enforced as no‐take areas. There also reduce impacts climate change through building resilience multi‐stressor situations. often fail provide warming, heatwaves, coastal darkening, pollution, which have emerged dominant forest globally. Although well‐enforced should remain an important tool forests, successful require implementing additional solutions target these accelerating threats.

To address the ongoing deterioration of marine ecosystems and its consequences on livelihood, European Union (EU) now aims to achieve 30% coverage Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), with 10% under strict protection per region.Here, we provide first assessment levels EU MPAs, describing level legal restrictions activities using MPA Guide framework.While MPAs covered 11.4% national waters in 2022, 0.2% were fully or highly protected.As much as 86% showed low protection, would not be considered compatible conservation objectives they allow industrial activities.Most minimal across Member States, sea regions, types MPAs.The network likely provides limited ecological outcomes.Reaching EU's target will require radical changes regulations MPAs.

However, the PAs depends on several factors such as perceived benefits costs from PAs, demographic factors. We carried out 845 household surveys in two Nepal Himalayas a lowland area (Terai). Overall, local people were supportive had high awareness.

With the increased emphasis on charting ocean sustainability narratives, marine spatial planning (MSP) is envisioned as a key tenet. MSPs emphasize systematic and collaborative management of space (resources activities) for benefit all users. Regions that have implemented MSP based stakeholder engagement are progressively realizing better outcomes. Unfortunately, in developing coastal states, progress toward largely pedestrian has attracted less interest. This partly due to archaic coastal/marine resource models dominated by few powerful stakeholders. worsened increasing human-environmental shocks, which creating bleak futures. Our study systematically sourced 12,316 documents from Scopus were analyzed using bibliometrics (i) conduct performance analysis, (ii) scientific mapping analysis (iii) identify game-changing developments can drive sustainability.

Worldwide, states are gazetting new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to meet the international commitment of protecting 30% seas by 2030. Yet, protection benefits only come into effect when an MPA is implemented with activated regulations and actively managed through continuous monitoring adaptive management. To assess if MPAs rule or exception, we used Mediterranean Black Seas as a case study, retrieved information on activities for 878 designated in ten European Union (EU) countries. We searched scientific grey literature that provides following aspects assessment monitoring: ecological (e.g., biomass commercially exploited fish), social perceptions fishers MPA), economic revenue fishers) governance type scheme). also queried authorities their past current using web-based survey which collected 123 responses. Combining review results, found approximately 16% designations (N = 878) have baseline and/or studies. Most programs evaluated based solely biological/ecological variables fewer included social, variables, failing capture social-ecological dimension marine conservation. increase capacity design implement effective programs, recommend strategies revolving around three pillars: funding, collaboration, technology.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are important conservation tools; however, many fail to achieve their full potential because of design and management deficiencies. Evaluating MPA effectiveness (ME) is essential for identifying deficiency issues in conservations guiding improvements. This study established an indicator-based framework evaluate ME tailored Taiwan's MPAs through literature reviews, expert consultations, stakeholder workshops. We applied 28 indicators the evaluation 30 fishery zones (FCZs), utilizing semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, questionnaires, analysis ecological reports, on-site visits. Only two were rated as highly effective; most poorly managed, deficiencies monitoring, enforcement, participation.
