1. Inclusive and wide-ranging effort to develop a
definition, criteria and guidelines for OECMs
2. Momentous opportunity to innovate on
conservation models and recognize the
globally-important contributions of OECMs

globally-important contributions of OECMs
3. Implementation challenges must be carefully

4. If we continue to engage collectively - OECMs
will make an important contribution towards
achieving Aichi Target 11 and the New Deal for
Nature

STRATEGIC PLAN (2011-2020)
TARGET 11
Targets & Qualifiers | Means
By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water
areas and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas,
especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity
and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively
and equitably managed, ecologically representative and
well-connected systems of protected areas and other
effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated
into the wider landscape and seascape.

CORE DIFFERENCE
Protected areas
Protected areas should have a primary conservation objective. Their core function is to promote the in-
situ conservation of biodiversity.
OECMs
OECMs should deliver the effective in-situ conservation of biodiversity, regardless of their primary management objectives.

CHALLENGES
• ‘New framework’ creates strains at the local to national levels, and
may (initially) cause confusion.
![Page 28: OTHER EFFECTIVE AREA-BASED CONSERVATION ......Guidelines to Task Force March 2017 2nd Draft of the Guidelines to CBD Parties October 2017 SBSTTA- 21 December 2017 3rd Draft Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050413/5f8a195423b6397eb03c4ace/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CHALLENGES
• ‘New framework’ creates strains at the local to national levels, and
may (initially) cause confusion.
• Capacity building on recognizing and reporting OECMs, as well as
legislative and institutional reforms, may be required.
![Page 29: OTHER EFFECTIVE AREA-BASED CONSERVATION ......Guidelines to Task Force March 2017 2nd Draft of the Guidelines to CBD Parties October 2017 SBSTTA- 21 December 2017 3rd Draft Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050413/5f8a195423b6397eb03c4ace/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CHALLENGES
• ‘New framework’ creates strains at the local to national levels, and
may (initially) cause confusion.
• Capacity building on recognizing and reporting OECMs, as well as
legislative and institutional reforms, may be required.
• OECMs should receive new and additional funding without drawing
on funds currently used to support PAs.
![Page 30: OTHER EFFECTIVE AREA-BASED CONSERVATION ......Guidelines to Task Force March 2017 2nd Draft of the Guidelines to CBD Parties October 2017 SBSTTA- 21 December 2017 3rd Draft Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050413/5f8a195423b6397eb03c4ace/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
CHALLENGES
• ‘New framework’ creates strains at the local to national levels, and
may (initially) cause confusion.
• Capacity building on recognizing and reporting OECMs, as well as
legislative and institutional reforms, may be required.
• OECMs should receive new and additional funding without drawing
on funds currently used to support PAs.
• Ensuring governing authorities are not ‘subjected to OECMs’, raising
questions of human and ownership/tenure rights.

• OECMs should receive new and additional funding without drawing

• Ensuring governing authorities are not ‘subjected to OECMs’, raising
questions of human and ownership/tenure rights.
• The name ‘OECMs/OEABCMs’ … ‘conserved areas’ makes the
framework much more relateable.

REPORTING & DATA MANAGEMENT
The Strategic Plan has 20 Targets.
Target 11
• In-situ conservation. All efforts to maintain biodiversity are of value, but not all should be mapped to Target 11
Target 6:
• Sustainable harvesting of fish, invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants
Target 7:
• Sustainable management of agriculture, aquaculture and forestry
![Page 33: OTHER EFFECTIVE AREA-BASED CONSERVATION ......Guidelines to Task Force March 2017 2nd Draft of the Guidelines to CBD Parties October 2017 SBSTTA- 21 December 2017 3rd Draft Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050413/5f8a195423b6397eb03c4ace/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
OPPORTUNITIES
OECMs support renewed focus on the qualitative aspects of T11
• Recognise effective conservation
• Promote diverse and equitable governance
• Support areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services
• Broaden ecological representativeness
• Deepen connectivity across systems of protected and conserved areas and
integrate them into the wider landscape and seascape
![Page 34: OTHER EFFECTIVE AREA-BASED CONSERVATION ......Guidelines to Task Force March 2017 2nd Draft of the Guidelines to CBD Parties October 2017 SBSTTA- 21 December 2017 3rd Draft Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050413/5f8a195423b6397eb03c4ace/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

BirdLife International Study
• Assessed 754 Key Biodiversity Areas outside protected areas in 10 countries
• >80% contain potential OECMs
• >50% are fully covered by potential OECMs
