This tools aims to identify some of the wider benefits that protected areas provide to human well-being and thus their contribution to poverty reduction. It helps to provide protected area managers and authorities with a methodology to help collate information on the full range of current and potential benefits of individual protected areas. Although developed primarily for use in protected areas, the tool could have wider application, for example in assessing wider benefits of forest management units, agricultural landscapes or areas set aside for recreation.
