Overview<\/h2>

The Canadian Council on Ecological Areas (CCEA) is hosting a national workshop to resolve key outstanding issues for the forthcoming Canadian Guidebook for the Application and Reporting of IUCN Protected Area Categories and Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures. The workshop will be a unique opportunity for conservation experts to come together and develop solutions for how to report on progress towards achieving Aichi Target 11. Workshop participants will include experts from Canadian protected area and conservation agencies and from IUCN, the scientific community, the fields of land stewardship and Aboriginal and community land-use planning, and from national non-governmental conservation
organizations.<\/p>

Workshop Goal<\/h2>

To discuss, resolve, and establish a common understanding of the major issues associated with identification and reporting of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and to develop clear guidance for finalizing the Canadian interpretation regarding the application and reporting of IUCN protected area categories and other effective area-based conservation measures.<\/p>

Context<\/h2>

CCEA\u2019s forthcoming Canadian Guidebook will help answer the question: \u201cHow much of Canada\u2019s territory is primarily dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity?\u201d<\/p>

The question is an important one because, over the past 50 years, in Canada and around the world, humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history. Over the past few centuries, species have been lost, as a result of human activity, at a rate believed to be as much as 1000 times the background rate typical of the Earth\u2019s history (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005).<\/p>

At the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010,
the Parties adopted a Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2010-2020. Target 11 from this plan (Aichi Target 11)
relates to protected areas and states:<\/p>

\u201cBy 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland waters, 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 wider landscapes and
seascapes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

In February 2013, CCEA hosted a national workshop: Interpreting Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 in the
Canadian Context in order to develop a science-based consensus on criteria for assessing what kinds of
areas fit within Aichi Target 11. Particular attention was paid to the new term \u201cother effective area-based
conservation measures\u201d.<\/p>

The forthcoming Canadian Guidebook will update CCEA\u2019s 2008 Canadian Guidebook for the Application of
IUCN Protected Area Categories by providing guidance on:<\/p>
