PA-METT (Protected Area Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool)

PA-METT (Protected Area Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool) is a systematic method used to evaluate how well protected natural areas, such as parks and reserves, are being managed. It assesses key aspects like governance, planning, resources, and on-the-ground management to ensure conservation goals are met. By providing a clear picture of strengths and weaknesses, PA-METT helps managers, governments, and stakeholders make informed decisions to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of protected areas. It promotes accountability and continuous improvement in conservation efforts.
