Abstract:
Given the emergence of environmental crises and the increasing trend of biodiversity loss, it is necessary for nations to take sustainable and appropriate measures to conserve biodiversity. This study was conducted to investigate the implementation and effectiveness of biodiversity conservation actions using a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology. Data were collected through both semi-structured interviews (in the qualitative procedure) and structured interviews using questionnaires (in the quantitative procedure) with the specialists and researchers of organizations related to the Sorkhabad Protected Area, located in the Zanjan Province of Iran. These staff worked at provincial, township, county and sub-county levels and were selected through a snowball sampling technique. The results showed that the measures taken to conserve biodiversity can be categorized in six areas: diagnostic measures on causes of biodiversity loss, restoration and conservation actions, management measures, diversification and livelihood improvement, Extension, public awareness and knowledge improvement, and integration measures. These actions have been implemented to a very small extent and their effectiveness has been low. There is a significant relationship between the rate of implementation and the effectiveness of actions. In addition, a significantly positive relationship is indicated between these measures. It is necessary to take biodiversity management measures with a comprehensive and multi-dimensional perspective and based on strengthening managerial capacities, extension and building human and social capacities of local communities, and integrating various organizations and actors’ activities to conserve and restore ecosystems and species in protected areas.
