SubsidieMeestersManagement Effectiveness for Protected Areas in Europe
The LIFE PAME Europe project aims to develop a flexible methodology for monitoring management effectiveness in protected areas across Europe, enhancing biodiversity conservation through stakeholder engagement and training.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030 identifies the urgency to ensure all PAs across Europe are managed effectively. The LIFE PAME Europe project, building on existing tools and methods, aims to develop a European-wide methodology, aligned with the needs of DG Env and EEA requirements for the IT reporting tool, to monitor and assess ME in all PAs across Europe.
Methodology Development
The methodology will also take into account:
- MS needs
- PA managing authorities' expectations
It will be flexible to apply in Natura 2000 sites and other nationally/regionally designated PAs.
Stakeholder Engagement
For this specific dialogue with DG Env, EEA, and MS, active involvement of stakeholders will be necessary in the framework of a Management Effectiveness Community. An Advisory Board composed of representatives from:
- DG Env
- EEA
- EU MS
- IUCN WCPA
- PA networks
- External experts
will provide additional expertise and specific technical inputs along the project development.
Testing and Finalization
The methodology, once drafted, will be tested in a sample of pilot PAs. Feedback received will be used to finalize the methodology.
Training and Communication
Learning material and training sessions, both for pilot areas and for national and regional authorities, will provide the necessary background competences to ensure a successful implementation and adoption of the methodology. An extensive parallel effort on communication, dissemination, and stakeholder engagement will contribute to raising attention and knowledge on the value and benefits of monitoring and assessing ME in PAs.
Project Consortium
The project consortium brings together an interdisciplinary team from organizations leading in innovative capacity building and engagement with protected areas. The partnership includes several institutions with direct responsibility for reporting under EU Nature Directives, with expertise in:
- Reporting procedures for Natura 2000
- Understanding of the challenges and opportunities of a new coordinated system for ME assessment
- The benefits that would derive for nature and biodiversity.
