More than a reserve? Measuring the benefits of private protected areas

该项目旨在建立一个框架，以了解澳大利亚私人保护区所带来的全套好处。它将开发并测试一种新的跨学科方法，以衡量保护区对人类和非人类受益人的生态、社会文化和经济效益。结果将包括一个系统的过程，有效地收集数据，分析和报告从保护区获得的全套效益。该框架将为私人保护区带来的一系列好处提供有力的证据基础。这对于管理和发展澳大利亚的保护区网络，减少生物多样性和环境下降，以及履行国际承诺至关重要。

This project aims to develop a framework for understanding the full suite of benefits derived from privately protected areas in Australia. It will develop and test a new interdisciplinary approach to measure the ecological, socio-cultural, and economic benefits of protected areas to both human and non-human beneficiaries. Outcomes will include a systematic process to effectively gather data, analyse, and report on the full suite of benefits derived from protected areas. The framework will provide a robust evidence base for the range of benefits provided by private protected areas. This will be vital to manage and grow Australia’s protected area network to reduce biodiversity and environmental declines, and meet international commitments.
