Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation and central to international
plans to minimize global extinctions. During the coming century, global ecosystem
destruction and fragmentation associated with increased human population and
economic activity could make the long-term survival of most terrestrial vertebrates even
more dependent on PAs.

Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) can be defined as the extent to which management is protecting values and achieving goals and objectives. The report also reviews attempts to develop headline indicators that would provide essential PAME information for a site, given the challenge of balancing the number of questions and indicators needed for a full assessment with the limited capacity.
