Abstract
With the adoption of Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Other Effective Conservation Measures are considered important instruments to achieve the 30 by 30 target. This study reviewed the characteristics of 829 OECMs sites through identifying the related instruments and the conservation outcomes using World Database of OECMs. OECMs, reported from 9 countries, covered approximately 1% of global terrestrial and 0.1% of marine areas. OECMs were governed and managed by law, planning, contract and the way of customary management. OECMs have contributed to biodiversity through conserving important ecological habitats and enhancing the connectivity, and promoting the related ecosystem services for local residents. In respect to governance types, proportion of shared governance was higher than that in protected areas.
