The WWF and World Bank Alliance for Forest Conservation and Sustainable Use presents a groundbreaking Tracking Tool aimed at enhancing management effectiveness in protected areas (PAs). With targets of establishing 50 million hectares of new PAs and securing existing ones under effective management, the tool collects vital data to identify global trends and management challenges. It facilitates accountability through site-level assessments while navigating limitations in quantifiable data. Insights gathered aim to foster better practices and informed decisions for forest conservation efforts globally.

WB / WWF Alliance Targets Alliance Forest Protected Areas targets by 2005: • 50 million ha of new forest protected areas • 50 million ha of protected areas secured under effective management Current situation: • over 30 million ha of new protected areas • working in over 40 million ha for improved management WORLD BANK / WWF ALLIANCE FOR FOREST CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE
A Site-Level Management EffectivenessTracking Tool Tool to collect data on WB / WWF Forest PA portfolio • Portfolio-wide • Quick, focused on sites • Relies on knowledge of WB / WWF staff and PA managers Limitations • Small amount of quantifiable data • Should be backed up by more detailed assessment system • scoring system should not be used for comparison between sites • limited evaluation of outcomes WORLD BANK / WWF ALLIANCE FOR FOREST CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE
Aims of Tracking Tool • Identifies progress on management effectiveness of WWF and World Bank PA Projects • Provides baseline data on Alliance PA portfolio • Identifies global trends and priorities for the development of tools and policies • Identifies key management issues in PA management and how to resolve issues • Assists reporting and accountability • Identify appropriate follow-up steps WORLD BANK / WWF ALLIANCE FOR FOREST CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE
