🏞️ A study of #water #contamination in #ProtectedAreas (PAs) in #Brazil "found #pesticide compounds in #biofilms both inside and outside PAs’ streams, with no buffer effect..." contrary to expectations. #microorganisms #dailynews Universidade Federal de Santa Maria ➡️ Blog: https://ow.ly/m0rX50YwquL

New #ProtectedAreas Face Increased Overlap With Humans and Reduced Overlap With Agriculture Upon Establishment
Consideration of human presence in PAs is increasingly needed to minimize conservation conflict and maximize synergies.
[6/6] Ces MAJ illustrent la progression mondiale des politiques de conservation, mais aussi leur diversité. Les bases de données internationales permettent de suivre l’expansion des aires protégées et d’évaluer l’efficacité des gouvernances. #HGGSP #geography #protectedareas #conservation
[1/6] Le Centre mondial de surveillance de la conservation du PNUE (UNEP-WCMC) publie la mise à jour 2026 de la base mondiale des aires protégées. La nouvelle base WDPCA cartographie l’expansion mondiale des espaces protégés et conservés. #HGGSP #geography #protectedareas #biodiversity #conservation
🌍 #ProtectedPlanet March 2026 Update:
#WDPCA: 319,995 including 312,510 #ProtectedAreas covering 245 countries & territories and 7,485 #OECMs covering 17 countries & territories.
GD-PAME: 8 assessment records updated for Sri Lanka.

[1/8] Un débat est en cours en Australie : faut-il autoriser des infrastructures touristiques privées dans les parcs nationaux ? Le projet de cabanes dans la réserve des Gardens of Stone cristallise ce conflit entre préservation et développement. #HGGSP #geography #ecotourism #protectedareas
How do #protectedareas in #Africa become #insurgent hotspots? 🌍
Research from Benin’s National Park W suggests it’s not just about "refuges" or "grievances" It’s about how #parkmanagement, even when trying to be inclusive, creates friction over land and power

[6/6] Le gouvernement portugais affirme avoir lancé récemment une réforme législative pour accélérer la désignation et la gestion des zones protégées. Cette affaire illustre le rôle des institutions euro dans la gouvernance environnementale des territoires. #geography #biodiversity #protectedareas
[1/6] La Cour de justice européenne inflige au Portugal 10 millions € d’amende pour non-protection d’habitats naturels. L’État devra aussi payer 41.250 € / jour tant que la mise en conformité avec la directive européenne biodiversité n’est pas achevée. #geography #biodiversity #protectedareas

Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) can play a decisive role in reaching biodiversity targets — yet they remain underused and unevenly assessed. 🌍🌐

A beautiful landscape of fields, hedgerows and trees is backed by mountains. In the background, a large lake can be seen between the mountains.
Beyond Boundaries: How 30by30 is re-defining Protected Areas 3️⃣0️⃣❌3️⃣0️⃣
Today’s blog by Leah Farquharson explores the 30by30 target of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and how it is re-defining #ProtectedAreas 👉https://bit.ly/4aIc1om
[8/8] Le principal enseignement est que les aires protégées sont des biens publics dédiés à la conservation, non des réserves foncières touristiques. Sans garde-fous politiques, l’appropriation privée produit une perte nette pour les écosystèmes. #HGGSP #geography #ecology #protectedareas #tourism
Les quatre espèces de génépi présentes dans les Alpes françaises : Artemisa eriantha (génépi laineux), A. genipi (génépi noir), A. umbelliformis (génépi jaune), A. glacialis (génépi des glaciers).
[8/8] La cueillette du génépi révèle l’écart entre règles nationales et réalités locales. Les agents apparaissent comme des sentinelles pour ajuster la gestion et gouverner durablement ces socio-écosystèmes montagnards. #geography #mountain #protectedareas #NationalPark #Mercantour
The number of #ProtectedAreas in #WildPolesia increased – better #protection is ensured to valuable natural areas, rare and typical biotopes, and #RareSpecies’ habitats.
🦎 #ClimateChange threatens Australia’s blue tongue #lizards: niche models project major range losses for 11 of 13 species by 2100, with #protectedareas offering limited refuge, underscoring urgent needs for climate-smart #conservation planning.

The Frankfurt Zoological Society has been working in #Ukraine for 25 years! This anniversary was celebrated with a meeting held in #Ivano-Frankivsk. Topics covered at the event included the results and prospects of cooperation between the FZS and the natural #protectedareas of #WildPolesia.
Πολύ χάρηκα αυτή την ευκαιρία να εξετάσουμε με τη Δήμητρα Σύρου και τον Ιωσήφ Μποτετζάγια την πορεία της διακυβέρνησης των προστατευόμενων περιοχών της Ελλάδας.
