Management Guidelines For Iucn Category V Protected Areas Protected Guidelines for applying protected area management categories including best practice guidance on recognising protected areas and assigning management categories and governance types. Iucn sees the protected area management categories as an important global standard for the planning, establishment and management of protected areas; this section outlines the main uses recognised.

Iucn Management Categories Of Protected Areas Category Category I The iucn has developed the protected area management categories system to define, record and classify the wide variety of specific aims and concerns when categorising protected areas and their objectives. further supplementary guidelines have been developed specific to marine protected areas (mpas). [3]. The iucn management categories are predominantly assigned to national level protected areas and are less frequently used formally to describe the management approach for protected areas designated under international or regional conventions and agreements. Iucn identifies the following categories: ia strict nature reserve: category ia are strictly protected areas set aside to protect biodiversity and also possibly geological geomorphical features, where human visitation, use and impacts are strictly controlled and limited to. The whole spectrum of categories i through vi enables protected area systems to include both those where sustainable activities are permitted and those where human activities are rigorously controlled.

Iucn protected area categories in 1994 iucn published a system to categorise protected areas based specifically on management objectives with the aim of providing: tool for promoting the development of a representative system of protected areas; framework for collecting data; international standards for comparison across countries; and. More than 25 years ago, iucn developed a preliminary system of protected area management categories to help make sense of the world's growing protected area network, aiming both to define and record the resources. The iucn has defined a series of protected area management categories based on management objectives. definitions of these categories, and examples of each, are provided in guidelines for protected area management categories (iucn, 1994). Volume incorporates two publications: a 2013 updated edition of guidelines for applying protected area management categories and a new publication, "iucn wcpa best practice guidance on recognising protected areas and assigning management categories and governance types.".
