1 The World Database on Protected Areas Consortium Silvio Olivieri WDPA Consortium

2 The growth of WDPA A Success story… –WDPA 2004: double the size of WDPA 2003 in 4 months… –Publication of WDPA 2003 catalyzed interest in providing new datasets the first delivery of the Biodiversity Knowledge Commons

3 WDPA 2004 Advances Double amount of data (1GB) GIS data: from 18% of PAs (I-VI) with polygons to 37% coverage 10,000 CD-Roms distributed

4 WDPA 2004 limitations Polygon coverage: provide analysis for I- VI in surface area protected and in hotspots.

5 The 12+ % Protected Is the 12+% of Terrestrial Area Protected worldwide an overestimate?… Quality of coverage of data sources (i.e. missing data) Quality of the data (i.e. wrong data) Quality control (wrong manipulation of data) A role for field based organizations: WCPA and Consortium members

6 Data quality issues that affects % area protected estimate Inaccuracy of point-data surface figures Terrestrial / marine components of PAs The inclusion of “non-IUCN” areas Overlapping PAs (Venezuela worst case) Missing data

7 Data quality issues that affects % area protected estimate Inaccuracy of point-data surface figures Terrestrial / marine components of PAs The inclusion of “non-IUCN” areas Overlapping PAs (Venezuela worst case) Missing data

8 Data quality issues that affects % area protected estimate Inaccuracy of point-data surface figures Terrestrial / marine components of PAs The inclusion of “non-IUCN” areas Overlapping PAs (Venezuela worst case) Missing data

11 Data quality issues that affects % area protected estimate Inaccuracy of point-data surface figures Terrestrial / marine components of PAs The inclusion of “non-IUCN” areas Overlapping PAs (Venezuela worst case) Missing data

12 Non-IUCN PAs ~36,000 PAs in 186 countries of 401 different types Include many areas that shuould be in categories I – VI Include many that should not be counted for conservation purposes

21 The Management of WDPA Transparent protocols Database management integrated in database at field level Quality control systems and protocols

22 The architecture of WDPA Missing features in relation to data contents –Marine / terrestrial components of PAs –PAs with zoning, with different IUCN categories –No history of data evolution –No redundant / alternate data –Data estimates for key fields –Data accuracy for key fields –Better management of data sources / metadata

23 The delivery of the WDPA Annual releases of stable versions Central database up-to-date Proposed architecture called for a service- oriented database that would allow other organizations to link additional data, information or analysis

24 WDPA 2004 by COP7 WDPA 2005 (by WCC, November 2004) Development of WDPA –Architecture –Decentralization –Transparent Procedures and Protocols –Quality Control –Expand & improve contents WDPA Website to link users Insure sustained funding Mobilize WCPA members at regional levels Engage major stakeholders (CBD/CHM,…) Annual Plan for 2004
