  4. A few key best practices Collecting information about protected areas • 2008 Guidelines for Applying IUCN Protected Area Categories. • All possible protected areas, including those managed by NGOs, individuals and communities, should be examined • A broad-based consensus confirming management categories and governance types should be sought among all stakeholders and rights holders involved in the process Translating and interpreting IUCN’s guidance • Accurate and consistent interpretation of the 2008 Guidelines, • Permission should be sought from IUCN for translation and final documents sent to IUCN for wider circulation

  5. Confirming management categories and governance types • Assignment processes should be evidence based and documented as thoroughly as possible to ensure transparency of decision making Reporting management categories and governance types • Data should include all the information required by UNEP-WCMC’s data standards and processes • Verification processes carried out by IUCN WCPA should be agreed through the development of a TOR with the IUCN Global Protected Areas Programme
