본 연구는 생물다양성협약(CBD)의 보호지역 관련 주요 논의 동향을 분석하고 2020 생물다양성목표(Aichi target-11)의 성취 정도에 대한 고찰을 통해, 우리나라의 보호지역 관련 Post-2020 국가 정책방향 및 목표 설정을 위한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 생물다양성협약의 보호지역 관련 결정문으로는 1995년 채택된 2개의 결정문(Decision II/7, II/8)을 시작으로, 제7차 당사국총회(2004)에서 보호지역 관련 이상적인 청사진을 제시한 보호지역실행프로그램(PoWPA)을 채택(Decision VII/28)하였다. 2010년에 보호지역 관련 핵심 이슈 10가지를 제시한 Decision X/31과 함께 "생물다양성 전략계획 2011-2020" 중 하나로 보호지역 관련 목표인 Aichi Target-11이 설정되었다. Aichi Target-11 성취 현황을 살펴보면 글로벌 차원에서 육상은 지구 토지면적의 15%, 해양의 7.4%가 보호지역으로 지정되어 있으며, 우리나라는 육상 16.63%, 해양 2.12%가 보호지역으로 지정되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 효과적이고 공정한 관리, 생물다양성 및 생태계서비스에 중요한 지역 보호, '기타 효과적인 지역기반 보전수단(OECMs)'을 밝혀내고 보호지역과 연계하는 것 등은 글로벌 목표 성취에 많이 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. Post-2020 글로벌 생물다양성프레임워크(Post-2020 GBF)의 초안을 살펴보면 1차 초안('20.1월)에서는 다단계의 목표를 제시하고 있는데, 2030년 까지 생물다양성에 있어 특별히 중요한 지역의 최소 60% 보호, 전체 육지 및 해양 지역의 최소 30% 보호, 이 중 최소 10%는 엄격한 보호(strict protection)를 목표로 제시하고 있다. 개정된 초안('20.8월)에서는 이를 간결하게 2030년 까지 전 지구의 최소 30%라는 하나의 양적 목표를 제시하고, 이들 지역이 "생물다양성 보전에 중요한 지역을 중심으로 효과적이며 잘 연결된 보호지역과 OECMs 시스템"을 통해 보호 및 보전되어야 한다는 질적 목표를 가미하였다. Post-2020 GBF의 보호지역 관련 목표와 우리나라의 현황 및 기 수립된 국가계획 내용 반영을 통한 국가 목표를 제안해 보면, 육상의 경우 국토면적의 30%, 해양의 경우 관할해역의 10% 정도로 설정하고 질적인 부분의 성취를 위한 세부 목표(sub-targets) 설정을 통해 성취 수단을 강화할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to provide basic understanding for evaluating the quantitative and qualitative progress of national protected areas, through the theoretical review of Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 in order to comply with recommendations of international community and to conserve biodiversity. As a result of the study, Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 sets out the specific contents that the Parties should achieve for protected areas by identifying them as temporal and spatial goals. The temporal goal, the time schedule for achieving the goal, is 2020, and the spatial goal is divided into quantitative expansion goals and qualitative improvement goals. The quantitative expansion goals present the target coverage of protected areas separately terrestrial and marine. The qualitative improvement goals include the target areas for conservation and five conservation considerations. The conservation targets focus on the important areas with regard to biodiversity and ecosystem services. The five conservation considerations mean effective management, equitable management, ecological representativeness, connectivity, and integration into the landscape and seascape for protected areas. Finally, it suggests that two tracks of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures(OECMs) should be used as conservation measures to build an integrated system. The results of this study can be applied to quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods for protected areas and it can contribute to achieve quantitative expansion goals and qualitative improvement goals for them.

This study aims to establish the integrated system of national protected areas by identifying OECMs which are not officially recognized as protected areas, but effectively and enduringly deliver the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem service to expand them up to the level recommended by the international community. In order to identify them, candidates for OECMs were listed and it was developed a three-step systematic screening tool based on preconditions, essential characteristics, and sustainable means for conservation outcome of them. As a result of using the tool that considers domestic conditions, seven areas which included Development Restriction Zones, Urban Natural Park Areas, Fishery Resources Protection Zones, Riparian Zones, Natural Recreation Forest Zones, Water Source Protection Areas, and Buffer Zones for Korea National Arboretum were selected as OECMs. And the system of national protected areas was built by integrating them with national protected areas(NPA). Compared with the NPA, the system has been expanded by them and has reached to 17.88%, exceeding the target of 17% for terrestrial and inland water protections. It was proven that they were very effective in enlarging these protections. However, it failed to contribute to the target for marine protections. The expansion of marine protected areas requires different approaches, such as discovering new types of marine protected areas or linking them to biologically important marine areas all over the world.

By delivering effective, in-situ conservation of biodiversity, OECMs can contribute to sustaining existing biodiversity values and improving biodiversity conservation outcomes. In this study, for the reporting of OECMs required by Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the site-level assessment of the Korea National Arboretum and Buffer Zones were conducted using the assessment tool of IUCN. The site-level assessment was carried out in three steps(step 1: screening, step 2 : consent for full assessment, step 3 : the full assessment). It was found that the criteria were satisfied except for the consent for full assessment, sustainability of governance and management arrangements, and the equity of governance and management. Although the governing authority, rights-holders or any other stakeholders could be identified, the step of acknowledging and agreeing to the full OECM assessment was not possible because the governance was not established. As a result of the assessment of equitable governance and management in the aspect of recognition, procedure, and distribution based on criterion(the equity of governance and management), it is judged that more specific measures are needed in the aspect of recognition. And in the aspect of procedure, there is no legal basis for participation in governance and collection of opinions, so it is judged that there is a limit to listening and reflecting the opinions of stakeholders. In the aspect of distribution, it is necessary to further confirm whether it provides direct benefits to rights-holders such as landowners in the region. And it is necessary to prepare specific criteria to assess the important biodiversity values. Therefore, in order to promote OECM reporting in the future, it is necessary to conduct detailed research on various types of governance establishment and operation plans that can establish the basis for recognizing and agreeing to OECM assessment, specific criteria and reasonable measures to judge equity, and important biodiversity value.

This study aims to systematically review the candidate types for OECMs suitable for domestic conditions in areas related to the Korea Forest Service in order to achieve the goal of establishing the protected areas and OECMs system required by Post-2020 GBF, and to provide basic data for the establishment of the national protected areas system. As a result of the study, the selection criteria for OECMs were presented, and it was found that arboretums·botanical gardens, Natural Recreation Forests, and air holes may correspond to the Candidate Types for OECMs. As a result of evaluating the possible areas for OECMs based on the OECMs selection criteria, in the case of arboretums·botanical gardens, it is judged that only conservation areas can be designated as OECMs, except for areas mainly used by visitors of arboretums·botanical gardens that fall under the BGCI conservation type among national and public arboretums·botanical gardens. However, private and school arboretums·botanical gardens have personal property ownership, so it was judged to have no effective measures to control activities that may adversely affect biodiversity, which showed limitations in designation of OECMs. Natural Recreation Forests was found to meet the OECMs selection criteria. However, private forests have personal property ownership, which limits the designation of OECMs. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the function of in-situ conservation in order to meet the OECMs for private and school arboretums·botanical gardens, and private forests that have personal property ownership. To this end, effective measures are needed to achieve biodiversity conservation outcomes, and it is judged that legal control and corresponding support policies (incentives) are needed. In the case of air holes, for sustainable conservation, the management boundary of air holes should be clearly defined based on the preparation of laws and guidelines related to air holes. In addition, it is judged that it is desirable to designate the competent local forest office as the management authority and conduct periodic detailed surveys of air holes, establish and implement the conservation plans based on those.
