IUCN category iv

Habitat/Species Management Area
Targeted habitat management2 parks
IUCN Category IV is built around focused ecological management. Rather than emphasizing wilderness, a singular monument, or broad public recreation, this category is used where the central task is to maintain, conserve, restore, or manage particular species, habitats, or ecological conditions. Many Category IV areas require active intervention, sometimes on an ongoing basis, because their conservation values depend on management actions such as water-level control, grazing regimes, fire management, invasive-species removal, nest-site protection, or habitat restoration. The category is especially important for places where biodiversity goals are precise, operational, and management-intensive.

Example parks

Aammiq WetlandTannourine Cedar Forest Nature Reserve

Management focus

A protected area managed mainly to protect particular species or habitats, often through targeted, regular, or adaptive conservation interventions.

IUCN category vi

Protected Area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources
Conservation with sustainable use1 park
IUCN Category VI is used for protected areas where conservation remains primary, but where the sustainable use of natural resources is recognized as a legitimate and integrated part of management. These are usually large areas that remain mainly in a natural condition and that conserve ecosystems, associated cultural values, and traditional resource-management systems. The category is especially important in places where conservation is best achieved not by excluding all use, but by supporting forms of use that are low-level, non-industrial, ecologically compatible, and embedded in long-term stewardship.

Example parks

Jabal Rihane

Management focus

A generally large protected area that conserves ecosystems and cultural values while allowing compatible, low-level, non-industrial use of natural resources as part of its management approach.
