「其他有效地區保育措施」於2010年第一次出現在《生物多樣性公約》愛知目標11的文字中,但到2018年《生物多樣性公約》才予以定義。本文簡介此一新名詞的背景、概念及其在國際間發展的過程,本文也說明「其他有效地區保育措施」的定義、指認「其他有效地區保育措施」所須的條件與元素、比較「其他有效地區保育措施」與「保護區」的異同,並介紹「其他有效地區保育措施」的類別與篩選原則,最後以新北市三芝區共榮、安康社區的案例說明「其他有效地區保育措施」和保護區的互補關係。我們也建議有關單位因應國際趨勢,及早制定我國指認「其他有效地區保育措施」的條件和標準。
"Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECM)" first appeared in the text of Aichi Target 11 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2010, but it was not defined by the CBD until 2018. In this paper, we introduce the background, concept, and process of development of OECM, clarify the definition of OECM and criteria and elements needed to recognize OECM, compare the similarities and differences between OECM and protected areas, introduce a four-step screening tool to identify potential OECM, and, finally, illustrate the complementary relationship between OECM and protected areas with a case study of Gongrong and Ankang Communities in Sanzhi District, New Taipei, Taiwan. Also provided are suggestions to authorities of protected areas to respond to international trends, and develop criteria and standards for the identification of OECM in Taiwan.
