Originally conceived to conserve iconic landscapes and wildlife, protected areas are now expected to achieve an increasingly diverse set of conservation, social and economic objectives. The amount of land and sea designated as formally protected has markedly increased over the past century, but there is still a major shortfall in political commitments to enhance the coverage and effectiveness of protected areas. Financial support for protected areas is dwarfed by the benefits that they provide, but these returns depend on effective management. A step change involving increased recognition, funding, planning and enforcement is urgently needed if protected areas are going to fulfil their potential.
最初设立保护区是为了保护标志性的景观和野生动物，但现在预计它们要实现越来越多样化的保护、社会和经济目标。在过去一个世纪中，正式划定为保护区的土地和海域数量显著增加，但在加强保护区的覆盖范围和有效性方面，政治承诺仍有很大差距。保护区提供的效益远远超过了为其提供的财政支持，但这些回报取决于有效的管理。如果保护区要发挥其潜力，就迫切需要在认识、资金、规划和执法方面取得重大进展。
