Privately Protected Areas (PPAs) are under-represented in national protected area systems and under-reported internationally despite the fact that they are a rapidly growing element of the conservation estate. The Specialist Group on Privately Protected Areas and Nature Stewardship of IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas is working to elevate the recognition, understanding and integrity of private conservation world-wide.

These Guidelines provide illustration from field experience on how best to manage, govern, evaluate and conserve privately protected areas globally. The guidelines are part of the IUCN WCPA Best Practice Protected Areas Guidelines. See the Guidelines page for details.

A privately protected area is a protected area, as defined by IUCN, under private governance (i.e. individuals and groups of individuals); non-governmental organizations (NGOs); corporations (both existing commercial companies and sometimes corporations set up by groups of private owners to manage groups of PPAs); for-profit owners; research entities (e.g. universities, field stations) or religious entities.
We define stewardship as efforts to create, nurture & enable responsibility in landowners and resource users to manage and protect natural and cultural resources.
