European Verification and Certification of Protected Areas under the IUCN Management Categories Presentation of the results of the WCPA Europe/IUCN Working Group for the Development of a Procedure for Verifying and Certifying the Status and Management of Protected Areas Based on the IUCN Management Categories Presentation given by Andrej Sovinc World Parks Congress, Durban, South Africa, September 2003.

Background and purpose United Nations List of Protected Areas (UNEP–WCMC) Guidelines for Protected Area Management Categories, IUCN/WCPA and WCMC (1994) Interpretation and Application of the Protected Area Management Categories in Europe, EUROPARC Federation and IUCN (2000).

Background and purpose Governments: importance of PAs, developing systems of PAs; Reducing the confusion to describe different kinds of PAs; Providing international standards; Improvement of PA management; Data framework about PAs; “common language; and Benchmarking of PAs.

Objectives of categorisation of PAs Governments: importance of PAs, developing systems of PAs; Reducing the confusion to describe different kinds of PAs; Providing international standards; Improvement of PA management; Data framework about PAs; “common language; and Benchmarking of PAs.

Weaknesses in the process no system of verification; and no mandate given to IUCN and UNEP-WCMC NOTE: it is about management category, not management effectiveness!

Benefits of Verification and Certification Quality database, improved knowledge on the extent of PAs; IUCN PA classification system understood; International pressure on the authorities; Increased protection for PAs; Upgrade management practices; Promote and raise awareness for PAs; Marketing based approach to PAs; Give real publicity to IUCN and WCPA; Assist in providing information for the UN List.

The Major Verification and Certification Elements All categories must fall within the IUCN definition of PA Verification of the relationship between management objectives and categories is based on: categorisation; legislation; management plan; zoning within protected areas; the size of the protected area; management responsibility; ownership of land; international designations.

Procedure of Verification and Certification General regulations: Regional Verification Committee, established by Regional WCPA/IUCN; administrative and technical support; Three steps (Verification Committee-proposal; Vice Chair of WCPA-approval and issued by IUCN); Voluntary request of the applicant; Validation of the certificate and procedure of renewal; Verified PAs clearly indicated

The procedure Applicant and “data provider”; UN List data used (or UN List data collection format); “block categorisation”; “Quick Classification Scan”; Consensus between the applicant and IUCN; Cases of disagreement.

Other arrangements All costs met by the applicant (expert mission, WCPA advisory service, revised application); Definition of an operation and communication; Tranining.

Financial and other implications The costs (see above); Costs agreed in advance; and Certified PAs publicised (Lifeline Newsletter, WCPA web site).
