four general lessons

PA governance is the result of processes of developing and exercising authority over time.

Understanding PA governance involves clarifying where rights, responsibilities and accountabilities lie

A dynamic and mutually supportive balance among multiple actors and institutions should be sought through powers and instruments exercised at different levels

Governance systems should be dependable but also adaptable, capable of responding to the ever-changing needs of in-situ conservation.
