Nature Conservation, Private landowner, DatabaseAbstract
Private protected areas (PPAs) are essential for preserving and conserving biodiversity, contributing to the maintenance of ecological processes. For this reason, private actors are increasingly managing lands for conservation, giving rise to PPAs. Given the importance of these areas, this study aimed to present the evolution of historical aspects, definitions, classifications, and the situation of private protected areas in the international context. To this purpose, we used data from the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA). The research found the existence of 34,492 PPAs, with a higher concentration in the Americas and Europe. Over the last 20 years, more than 12,000 new PPAs have been created, following the World Parks Congresses. Most PPAs fall into categories IV and V of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and most of them are located in terrestrial or freshwater environments.
