Abstract

This paper provides an update on the 2017 status of Arctic protected areas. It provides an overview of the status and trends of the extent of protected areas in the Arctic and an overview of area-based conservation measures including World Heritage Sites and wetlands. This paper uses the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) definition for protected areas which includes a wide range of Management Categories – from strict nature reserve to protection with sustainable use. Consequently, the level of protection and governance of these areas varies throughout the circumpolar region. As of 2021, 20.77 per cent of the Arctic’s terrestrial area and 5.24 per cent of its marine areas are protected. Protected area coverage of the Arctic’s terrestrial ecosystems exceeded Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 which aimed for at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water to be protected by 2020. The protected area coverage of marine areas fell short of the Aichi Target for 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas to be protected.

北极保护措施的现状和趋势

本文介绍了2017年北极保护区的最新情况。它概述了北极保护区的现状和趋势，并概述了基于区域的保护措施，包括世界遗产地和湿地。本文使用了国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）对保护区的定义，其中包括广泛的管理类别——从严格的自然保护区到可持续利用的保护区。因此，这些地区的保护和治理水平在整个环极地地区各不相同。截至2021年，北极20.77%的陆地面积和5.24%的海洋面积受到保护。北极陆地生态系统的保护区覆盖率超过了爱知生物多样性目标11，该目标旨在到2020年保护至少17%的陆地和内陆水域。海洋区域的保护区覆盖率达不到爱知县10%的沿海和海洋区域的目标。

期刊介绍： We aim for PARKS to be a rigorous, challenging publication with high academic credibility and standing. But at the same time the journal is and should remain primarily a resource for people actively involved in establishing and managing protected areas, under any management category or governance type. We aim for the majority of papers accepted to include practical management information. We also work hard to include authors who are involved in management but do not usually find the time to report the results of their research and experience to a wider audience. We welcome submissions from people whose written English is imperfect as long as they have interesting research to report, backed up by firm evidence, and are happy to work with authors to develop papers for the journal. PARKS is published with the aim of strengthening international collaboration in protected area development and management by: • promoting understanding of the values and benefits derived from protected areas to governments, communities, visitors, business etc; • ensuring that protected areas fulfil their primary role in nature conservation while addressing critical issues such as ecologically sustainable development, social justice and climate change adaptation and mitigation; • serving as a leading global forum for the exchange of information on issues relating to protected areas, especially learning from case studies of applied ideas; • publishing articles reporting on recent applied research that is relevant to protected area management; • changing and improving protected area management, policy environment and socio-economic benefits through use of information provided in the journal; and • promoting IUCN’s work on protected areas.
