Why attend
This event will explore how well-governed and managed agricultural landscapes could contribute to the global area-based conservation Target 3 by being recognised as Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs).
This session will present new findings from a scoping study conducted by IUCN and enable a dialogue amongst diverse organisations.
Session Description
This session will explore the emerging potential for well-managed agricultural landscapes to be recognised as Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs). It will examine how these landscapes — when delivering sustained biodiversity conservation outcomes — can complement formal protected areas, support ecosystem connectivity, and contribute to global area-based targets such as 30x30.Through practical examples, early case studies, and discussion among conservation practitioners, land managers, and policy stakeholders, the event will highlight enabling conditions, governance considerations, and challenges specific to productive landscapes.
