Protected Areas (PAs) are essential to maintaining biodiversity, while effective management plans (MPs) are essential for the management of these areas. Thus, MPs must have relevant data analyses and diagnoses to evaluate ecological conditions of PAs. We evaluated the environmental diagnoses of 126 Brazilian federal PAs, the methods used to collect data and defined the diagnostic level of PMs according to the type and number of analyzes performed for each PA category. We found a low level of diagnosis in MPs. Primary field data or research programs resulted in environmental diagnostics of higher levels. Participatory workshops and secondary data, most used in Extractive Reserves, were related to low levels of diagnoses. The most frequent analysis was the identification of threats (97% of MPs), while the least frequent were the definition of conservation targets and future scenarios for management (1.6% of MPs). Our results show that the diagnoses of the MPs need to be more analytical to generate useful information for decision-making. MPs should prioritize data analysis and specific management studies, focused on the use of natural resources, the status of conservation targets, future scenarios, and key information to planning.
保护区（PAs）对于维护生物多样性至关重要，而有效的管理计划（MPs）对于这些地区的管理至关重要。因此，MPs 必须进行相关数据分析和诊断，以评估 PAs 的生态状况。我们评估了 126 个巴西联邦保护区的环境诊断，评估了用于收集数据的方法，并根据每个保护区类别进行的分析的类型和数量定义了 MPs 的诊断水平。我们发现 MPs 中的诊断水平较低。主要的实地数据或研究计划导致了更高水平的环境诊断。参与式研讨会和二次数据，最常用于采掘保留区，与较低的诊断水平有关。最常见的分析是识别威胁（97%的 MPs），而最不常见的是确定保护目标和管理的未来情景（1.6%的 MPs）。我们的结果表明，MPs 的诊断需要更具分析性，以便为决策提供有用的信息。MPs 应优先进行数据分析和具体的管理研究，重点是自然资源的利用、保护目标的状况、未来情景以及规划的关键信息。
