OOS 46-4: Conservation Commons projects are assising managers in the field through projects such as PARC (Protected Areas Resource Centers), PALNet (Protected Areas Learning Network), and WDPA (World Database of Protected Areas)

Thomas Moritz, Getty Research Institute

For more than 10 years, participants in the Information Management Task Force of the World Commission on Projected Areas have conducted strategic needs assessments for information resources and services focused on Protected Areas Managers in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific. Among the results of that work have been the PARC Project (Protected Areas Resource Centers), the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), PALNet (Protected Areas Learning Network) and the Conservation Commons. The design of these and related efforts will be discussed andthe projects will be evaluated.
