There is no shortage of guides, case studies, methodologies and other materials to help implement the Programme of Work on Protected Areas. In fact, there is so much material that it can be overwhelming to read everything. The Secretariat has developed concise learning modules for each goal of the Programme of Work. These modules are like short courses which take approximately an hour each, providing an overview of key terms, concepts, resources and approaches.
