Section 1 important areas for plants by 2010. National IPA projects can assist governments to meet this target. IPAs are also closely linked with the conservation aims of the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy (PEBLDS), the Pan-European Ecological Network (PEEN), the Bern Convention and the Emerald Network, the EU Biodiversity Strategy, the EU Habitats Directive and the Natura 2000 network, the EU Water Framework Directive, the Aarhus Convention on public participation in environmental decisionmaking, the RAMSAR Convention on Wetlands, and conservation monitoring projects such as the IEBI 2010. Detailed information on how IPAs link to these programmes can be found in Section 7. Countries involved in this project At the end of 2001 the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality of the Netherlands provided funds to identify IPAs in seven countries in central and eastern Europe.These countries are Belarus (with project development in Russia and the CIS region), the Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. In this publication these seven countries are referred to as the partner countries. Plantlife International carries out the role of IPA Secretariat providing technical information, database facilities, coordination and administration. In each of the seven countries there is a coordinating organisation and a national team made up of many different individuals and organisations, which carries out the identification of IPAs. Details of the national coordinators and teams can be found in Section 5. There are also other IPA projects in Europe and in other regions of the world.Turkey was the first country to complete IPA identification and publish its results. IPA identification projects funded through the Regional Environmental Centre and environment ministries have begun in south eastern Europe including Bulgaria, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro. The World Conservation Union, IUCN-CIS, in Moscow is developing IPA project proposals for Russia and regions of eastern Europe. Other countries in Europe have either begun IPA projects or are interested in developing them, including Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Spain, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and Mediterranean countries including Morocco and the Lebanon. Other regions of the world such as southern Africa, south east Asia, and New Zealand are also developing IPA projects and details of all these projects and the various European projects can be found in Section 5. Methodology for identifying IPAs The basic principles of IPA identification are based on the presence of one or more of the following criteria: Criterion A Criterion B Criterion C Threatened Species Botanical Richness Threatened Habitats These criteria were first debated in the first Planta Europa Conference in France in 1992 and have been developed and refined through a process of workshops and written consultations involving a wide range of specialists from different countries. (A more detailed explanation is given in Section 2) 12
Introduction Transparency is one of the major principles of the IPA project and each country must make clear its methods and the reasons why each IPA has been selected. IPAs may be identified on protected and un-protected land. Summary of the results of this IPA project One of the main strengths of the project has been the high level of cooperation and communication among botanists, mycologists and specialists in the same country and across national boundaries. This open communication and wide stakeholder involvement will be essential in establishing networks to protect and manage IPAs in the future. Number and area of IPAs: In the seven partner countries 796 Important Plant Areas have been identified to date, covering an area of 14,739,174 hectares. IPAs in central and eastern Europe 13
