“…Governments can help facilitate this process. In Mexico, for example, formal recognition of a PPA requires the existence of a management plan demonstrating the area's biological significance in the context of the National System of Protected Areas and the participation of all stakeholders (Hora et al, 2018). In the USA, government agencies provide strategic mapping to organisations setting up and managing PPAs, many of which adopt priorities in alignment with government-identified strategies (see Box The world is undergoing rapid change, the results of which are not fully understood.…”

Equilibrium Research offers practical solutions to conservation challenges, from concept, to implementation and evaluation of impact. With partners ranging from local communities to UN agencies across the world, Equilibrium explores and develops approaches to natural resource management that balance the needs of nature and people. The founders, Nigel Dudley and Sue Stolton, see biodiversity conservation as an ethical necessity, which can also support human wellbeing. www.equilibriumresearch.com The Turner Endangered Species Fund (TESF) TESF was launched in 1997 and is dedicated to conserving biological diversity by ensuring the persistence of imperiled species and their habitats with an emphasis on private land. Our activities range from single species conservation actions to restoration of ecological communities and functional ecosystems. We are unique in our efforts to bring the role of private lands to the forefront of ecological conservation. We aim to use the best science to effectively conserve biodiversity and disseminate reliable scientific and policy information. We are determined to establish a new level of effectiveness for private-public efforts to redress the extinction crisis.

“…According to the IUCN, private governance comprises protected areas under individual, cooperative, NGO or corporate control and/or ownership, and managed under not-for-profit or for-profit schemes (Dudley 2008). Although the establishment of PPAs is considered a good conservation measure by which to complement the conservation efforts made by the public administrations (Roldán et al 2010;Hora et al 2018), PPAs are often unrecognised by governments, and most of them are not included in the World Database on Protected Areas (Dudley 2008). Moreover, the scientific literature and research efforts have been more frequently focused on larger public protected areas (Capano et al 2019).…”

Success in conserving the bird diversity in tropical forests through private protected areas in Western Ecuador

Private protected areas have recently attained more importance at a worldwide level as regards nature conservation. Particularly, the specific region of Western Ecuador receives hardly any protection from the State, and private reserves could, therefore, be a suitable tool to ensure the preservation of its forests and their associated wildlife biodiversity. In this work, we compare the bird species richness between private reserves and public protected areas (managed by the State) located in this region. We also show a checklist of bird species found in the Buenaventura Reserve, a private reserve located in south-western Ecuador. Our comparison shows that smaller private reserves may harbour a similar number of bird species than larger protected areas managed by the state, and they have a higher number of bird species per area. In particular, a total of 233 different bird species were registered in Buenaventura, which were distributed in 16 orders and 42 families. Three species were classified as endangered at an international level: El Oro Parakeet (Pyrrhura orcesi), El Oro Tapaculo (Scytalopus robbinsi), and the Grey-backed Hawk (Pseudastur occidentalis), and another three at a national level: the Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger), the Slaty-winged Foliage-gleaner (Philydor fuscipenne), and the White-vented Plumeleteer (Chalybura buffonii). Therefore, private reserves can be appreciated as a suitable conservation tool for bird conservation, and they should not be undervalued because of their smaller size. Buenaventura Reserve is a good example of how private reserves are extremely important in fragmented landscapes, as is the case with tropical forests in Western Ecuador.

“…It is the only state with 2.2% of its territory under private protection, making it one of the nations with the highest proportion of private conservation areas. Only small countries such as Costa Rica and Belize have a bigger relative share of their territory under private conservation [12]. 19.2% of Chile's territory is protected in the National Park System known as SNASPE (Sistema Nacional de Áreas Silvestres Protegidas del Estado) [12].…”

Private Protection Initiatives in Mountain Areas of Southern Chile and Their Perceived Impact on Local Development—The Case of Pumalín Park

This paper aims to identify the socio-economic impacts perceived by the local community to be caused by Pumalín Park, one of the biggest and most remarkable private protected areas in Chile. In recent years, the Pumalín Park project has had a tremendous influence on the local economy by providing job opportunities for local entrepreneurs, protecting native forest and strengthening social awareness, particularly in the nearby town of Chaitén, which was stricken in 2008 by a volcanic eruption. The methods used were secondary data review, semi-structured interviews with key informants and questionnaires aimed at assessing the local population's perception of the park's contribution to their community. The results indicate that Pumalín Park plays an important role in local development, enhancing not only conservation of fragile mountain ecosystems, but also revitalizing the economic base of this rural and marginalized area of southern Chile.
