A new manual (version 2) was released in 2020 to support communities, indigenous peoples and those who work with them to register their ICCAs. This manual is intended to guide readers through the process of deciding whether to submit ICCA data, how to submit it, and where to submit it to. It now includes information on other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).
