What is a ‘Green Listed’ site?
A protected or conserved area that reaches the IUCN Green List Standard is certified and recognised as achieving ongoing results for people and nature in a fair and effective way. Any site can join, and work its way towards achieving verified success, and then maintain the Standard or further improve .
Any protected and conserved area that gains ‘Green List’ status demonstrates:
- Respect: for the local community through fair and meaningful engagement of rights-holders and stakeholders
- Design: planning that identifies the needs to secure the important values of the area
- Effective management: monitoring of the status of these important values
- Successful conservation results: for nature and for people
- Clear contribution: to climate change responses, health and well-being and other challenges
