The primary objective of this workshop is to explore spatial aspects of protected area management by interactively mapping values and threats in protected areas.

Intended outcomes of a RAPPMap workshop are that:

1. Focal values and threats of each protected area are identified,

2. Protected area managers at both the protected area and national level understand the importance of spatially explicit information.

3. Those interested in exploring the role of mapping in the RAPPAM process benefit from the experience in terms of evaluating its value and possibly including it in future RAPPAM assessments.
