New paper out in Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation led by Alvaro Fernandez-Llamazares and a stellar team of collaborators sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
We showed that Indigenous Territories play an important role for conserving #bat diversity across the #Amazon

IPLC rights remain 'under-recognised and under-supported, and the emergence of OECMs (other effective area-based conservation measures) needs to be understood against that context.' Excellent briefing on post-2020 GBF by Forest Peoples Programme ICCA Consortium

🐟🐙Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are areas that are achieving the long term and effective in-situ conservation of biodiversity outside of protected areas. Visit our website and learn more on community based conservation. ➡️esahub.rcmrd.org/en/biodiversit…

Job posting: Manager, Land Protection Measures at NatureConservancy.ca | Conservationdelanature.ca

Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures ( #OECMs ) are an effective policy tool in #SIDS 🏝to ensure a more equitable approach to conservation.
Read about how SIDS are accelerating climate action and # #BlueEconomy 🌊 in the 46th SIDS Bulletin 👉🏽 bit.ly/SIDSBulletin46

🚨 Interested in OECMs in the tropics (🇨🇴 Andes)? Using a novel dataset of >7000 public land acquisitions (PLAs) for watershed protection + surveys and interviews, we study the scale, spatial allocation, & constraints of PLA implementation & examine their conservation benefits!

Join us Mar 10 at 2pm (UTC-7) for a panel discussion on Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECMs) at 2021fisheries.iasc-commons.org w Georgina Gurney Dr Emily Darling Dr. Natalie Ban Jessica Blythe Graham Epstein @Dr_WhitneyF #FishAquaCommons

How can #OECMs contribute to the global and regional targets? Come here from ⁦HELCOM - the Helsinki Commission⁩ experience at side event 1- #UNOC #MPAs

(1/5) The Global Biodiversity Framework includes a target of 30% of land protected by 2030 and refers to OECMs as complementary to PAs. In our new preprint we assessed the impact of PAs and two potential OECMs on forest loss in the Amazon from 2000 to 2021

#MPAs , alongside #OECMs , are essential tools for ocean conservation. Avoid confusion about what ‘protection’ means and learn how people can make progress towards effective global ocean protection in MPAs using The #MPAGuide

Site-level tool for identifying other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) 📋

Many sites make vital contributions to biodiversity conservation, even though they are not #ProtectedAreas .

We'll be hearing more about “other effective area-based conservation measures,” or OECMs

What a joy to have had one week to brainstorm about how to measure the #conservation effectiveness of #OECMs at #LaMaisonDeLOcean in #Paris .

-Can bottom trawling happen in MPAs or OECMs?

Panel answer was a clear no. Bottom trawling always has a negative impact on the marine ecosystems & biodiversity. So let’s #BanBottomTrawling in #MPAs 💪🏽🙏🏽 #30by30

#UNOC2022 #UNOceanConference #BalticSea

'The old approach is 'Protected Area' here, 'humans' there. No overlap, no harmony. We need to remember that this is not always effective, and the recognition of #ICCAs , or Indigeous & Communities Conserved Areas, as part of #OECMs , is a great step in the right direction.'

#OEWG5 and #COP15 will commence tomorrow. These meetings will give African CSOs Biodiversity Alliance members an opportunity to influence the outcome of the #post2020 GBF. Daniel Kobei Executive Director of Ogiek Peoples' Dev. Program (OPDP) will speak about the African #indigenous communities and their roles in OECMs.

Exploring #OECMs : A new paradigm for area-based #conservation .
