DESCRIPTION:n 2010\, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Bi
 ological Diversity adopted the Aichi Biodiversity Targets as part of the S
 trategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. Target 11 calls for ‘at least 
 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water areas and 10 per cent of coast
 al and marine areas’ to be conserved by way of ‘well-connected systems
  of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures
 ’. Yet four years after their adoption\, parties to the CBD and other ri
 ghts- and stakeholders have not received guidance about either what kinds 
 of arrangements do and do not constitute ‘other effective area-based con
 servation measures’\, or how best to appropriately recognise and support
  them. The paper argues that without clear guidance on the issue\, conserv
 ation law and policy will continue to inappropriately and/or inadequately 
 recognise the great diversity of forms of conservation and sustainable use
  of ecosystems and their constituent elements across landscapes and seasca
 pes\, including by Indigenous peoples and local communities. In this conte
 xt\, and in line with calls from the Convention on Biological Diversity an
 d the IUCN\, it proposes the establishment of an IUCN Task Force to furthe
 r explore the issues with a view to developing clear guidance on ‘other 
 effective area-based conservation measures’ as a means to effectively an
 d equitably achieve Aichi Biodiversity Target 11.
