OECMs will often be pre-existing measures that have not historically been recognised for their conservation values, ranging from Sacred Natural Sites to some military zones. The challenge for governments and other stakeholders will be in identifying OECMs, and supporting them to maintain their conservation benefits in the long term.</p><p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 16.05px;'>IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) has provided guidance on recognising OECMs [2].</p><p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 16.05px;'>[1] CBD, 2018; Available at: https://www.cbd.int/doc/decisions/cop-14/cop-14-dec-08-en.pdf</p><p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 16.05px;'>[2] https://doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.CH.2019.PATRS.3.en</p></p> <p style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:15px;font-family:'>&nbsp;</p>
