“…This additional coverage has the potential to add value in terms of connectivity and ecosystem representativeness (see e.g. Gallo et al, 2009;Fitzsimons et al, 2013). Private lands can also offer opportunities for ecological restoration, including through collaborative efforts that aim to achieve landscape-level restoration (Holl, 2017).…”

Privately protected areas (PPAs) are increasingly recognized as important conservation initiatives, as evidenced by recent developments that support recognizing and documenting them alongside protected areas under other governance types. Advances in guidance on PPAs have been accompanied by increasing support within international policy arenas, and more PPAs are being reported to the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA). Despite this, national approaches to recognizing and supporting PPAs vary, as does the extent to which countries report on PPAs to the WDPA. We present recent advances that support PPAs at the international level, summarize the present state of PPA reporting to the WDPA, and discuss the challenges and opportunities that currently characterize the future of PPAs.

“…Although the surface of the Earth is covered by approximately 16,200 areas of legal protection with about 28 million km² (Watson et al 2014), most of these areas cover very restricted geographic regions and habitats (Gallo et al 2009). In Brazil, for example, about 1,500,436 km² of area are included in protected areas (MMA 2017).…”

“…Most of these areas cover regions with little productive soils and low implantation costs (Norton 2000, Scott et al 2001, Rouget et al 2003. According to Norton (2000), the network of existing legal protected areas in the world is not adequate for biodiversity conservation, due to the costs to create and maintain these areas, as well as factors such as decrease and changes in the regulation of these areas (Gallo et al 2009, Marques & Peres 2015. In a review, Rodrigues et al (2004) showed that 11.4% of approximately 11,600 vertebrates are covered in public Conservation Units (UCs), and demonstrate that the percentage of area already protected in a given country or biome is a very poor indicator of additional conservation needs.…”

Abundance and composition of the medium to large-sized mammals in a private area of a REDD+ project in Acre, Brazil

The implementation of private areas focused on conservation of species and habitats, combined with REDD+ policies, has become an important ally for biodiversity conservation, expanding the conservation areas of the most varied habitats, covering key groups such as large mammals, which are extremely important for the maintenance of ecosystem services. In the upper region of the Purus River in Acre, Brazil, an inventory was carried out using camera-traps, of medium and large mammals community in a private REDD+ area, known as the Purus Project. A total of 19 species of mammals were recorded with an effort of 1859 trap-nigths, including rare, endangered and key species. It is estimated that the richness for the area is of 22 species. Endangered and rare species such as the tapir (Tapirus terrestris) and the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) presented high rates of relative abundance compared to other Conservation Units (UCs). The richness of medium to large-sized mammals recorded in the Purus Project underscores the importance of REDD+ in private areas for the conservation of this group, given the challenges for inclusion and creation of new protected areas. REDD+ projects in privates' areas become an important component for conservation of species and the connection between public conservation units favoring the spread of species and populations between areas, and consequently the gene flow.

Abundância e composição de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em uma área privada de projeto REDD+ no Acre, BrasilResumo: A implementação de áreas privadas voltadas para conservação de espécies e habitats, aliadas a políticas de REDD+, tem se tornado importante aliada para conservação da biodiversidade, ampliando as regiões de conservação dos mais variados habitats, abrangendo grupos chaves como grandes mamíferos, extremamente importantes para manutenção dos serviços ecossistêmicos. Na região do alto rio Purus, Acre, Brasil, foi realizado um inventário utilizando armadilhas fotográficas, da comunidade de mamíferos de médio e grande porte de uma área privada de REDD+, o Projeto Purus. Foram registradas 19 espécies de mamíferos, com um esforço de 1.859 armadilhas-noite, incluindo chaves, raras e ameaçadas de extinção. Estima-se que a riqueza esperada para a área seja de 22 espécies. Espécies ameaçadas e raras como a Anta (Tapirus terrestris) e o Cachorro-do-mato (Atelocynus microtis) apresentaram taxas de abundância relativa elevadas, comparadas com outras UCs. A riqueza de médios e grandes mamíferos registrados na região do Projeto Purus ressalta a importância de REDD+ em áreas privadas para conservação deste grupo, dado os desafios para inclusão e criação de novas áreas protegidas públicas. Assim projetos de REDD+ em áreas privadas se tornam um importante componente para conservação de espécies e para a conexão entre Unidades de Conservação públicas favorecendo a dispersão de espécies e populações entre áreas, e consequentemente o flu...
