Rapid Assessment and Prioritisation of Protected Areas Management (RAPPAM)
The RAPPAM enables a quick evaluation of protected area network at national or regional scale. This methodology provides protected areas agencies with a country (or regional)-wide overview of the effectiveness of protected area management, threats, vulnerabilities and degradation. It provides follow-up recommendations, and is an important first step in assessing and improving protected area management.
