A **privately protected area** is a protected area, as defined by IUCN, under private governance (i.e. individuals and groups of individuals); non-governmental organizations (NGOs); corporations (both existing commercial companies and sometimes corporations set up by groups of private owners to manage groups of PPAs); for-profit owners; research entities (e.g. universities, field stations) or religious entities.

Our publication is a first-of-its kind global assessment of privately protected areas. The IUCN Report, The Futures of Privately Protected Areas, creates a framework to allow governments to expand their use and support of privately protected areas and will raise awareness that privately protected areas can and should be reported to the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and the CBD. The report by Sue Stolton, Kent Redford and Nigel Dudley is based on an extensive literature review, discussions with PPA specialists, an expert workshop and 17 commissioned country reviews.
