This document defined conservation as ‘the management of human use of the biosphere so that it may yield the greatest sustainable benefit to present generations while maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations.’ Living resource conservation under this definition is seen to have three specific objectives: to maintain essential ecological processes and life-support systems; to preserve genetic diversity; and to ensure that utilization of species and ecosystems is sustainable. Conservation therefore is expected to make important contributions to social and economic development, and protected areas have a prominent role to play in this process. Now, more than ever before, the world needs protected areas which are designed, planned, and managed explicitly to bring benefits to people. And while the World Conservation Strategy contains what may appear to be a new approach, in fact the social and economic benefits of protected areas have long been recognized in the Neotropical Realm. National parks protect the water supply of Rio de Janeiro, provide the water to run the major industries of Venezuela, provide important sources of foreign exchange in Central America and the Caribbean, and provide a livelihood for many people in the Amazonian region of Brazil. The IUCN Directory of Neotropical Protected Areas, the first in IUCN’s new series of protected area directories, contains details on some 90 percent of the protected areas of the Neotropical Realm, providing information on the very significant efforts that are being made by the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean in designing, planning, and managing a wide variety of protected areas for the benefit of their peoples. The Directory is a product of the Protected Area Data Unit (PADU), part of IUCN’s Conservation Monitoring Centre in the UK. Working in close cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Wildlife Fund, it is expected that additional directories will be produced at the rate of approximately one per year, with later editions containing increasingly more complete and useful information. All of the data is on the CMC computer, which will soon be able to provide information in a variety of configurations to scientists, national park planners, and development agencies. A development assistance organization, for example, may wish to know if the upstream watershed for a potential hydroelectric site is protected by a national park, or require detailed information to allow choices among various alternatives for an agricultural development project; agricultural researchers may need to know where the wild ancestors of domestic rubber or potatoes might be found in a protected area; and scientists may be interested in knowing which protected areas in the Amazonian rainforest contain armadillos which might be of use in leprosy research. Through making such information readily available in a useful form, IUCN will to be able to help ensure that development decisions will lead to a sustainable improvement in the standard of living of all people, and that protected areas will make their important contributions to society.
