Overview
- Protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures are expanding all over the world in order to achieve "30 by 30" Target, which aims to protect and conserve 30% of Earth's surface by 2030.
- To achieve this global goal, it is important not only to evaluate numerical target, but also to consider ecological perspectives in depth, culture and the socio-economic aspects of local communities, living near natural resources.
