Abstract

Governance is a fundamental aspect and precondition for conservation strategies, such as protected areas or OECMs. A methodology for Site-level Assessment of Governance and Equity (SAGE) has been proposed by IUCN to explore different aspects of governance, based on ten principles. This article describes the application of SAGE to a candidate OECM for what we believe is the first time: the Andakí Municipal Natural Park in the Amazon region of Colombia. The application of SAGE generated useful insights into different aspects of governance, including the importance of good communication and recognising and respecting the rights and responsibilities of different actors. Based on this experience, we believe that the SAGE methodology could be a useful tool not only to identify priorities for improving governance, but also to assess governance and equity in order to evaluate if an area meets the criteria for an OECM – that it is governed and managed to achieve sustained and effective contributions to in situ conservation of biodiversity, associated ecosystem functions and services, and cultural, spiritual, socio-economic and other locally relevant values.

在OECM候选地:哥伦比亚卡奎特 Andakí市政自然公园中应用治理与公平(SAGE)方法

治理是保护战略的基本方面和先决条件，例如保护区或oecm。IUCN提出了一种基于10条原则的站点级治理与公平评估(SAGE)方法，以探索治理的不同方面。本文描述了SAGE在OECM候选项目中的应用，我们认为这是第一次:哥伦比亚亚马逊地区的Andakí市政自然公园。SAGE的应用对治理的不同方面产生了有用的见解，包括良好沟通的重要性，以及承认和尊重不同行为者的权利和责任。基于这一经验，我们认为SAGE方法不仅可以成为一个有用的工具，用于确定改善治理的优先事项，还可以评估治理和公平，以评估一个地区是否符合OECM的标准，即该地区的治理和管理是否能够实现对生物多样性就地保护、相关生态系统功能和服务、文化、精神、社会经济和其他与当地相关的价值的持续有效贡献。

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.
