Theseplans highlight regional priorities for protected areas, help raise awareness and fundingfor protected area projects, and encourage different groups to work together to addresscritical protected area issues. The East Asia Action Plan, prepared by the WCPAs EastAsianetworkafterextensiveconsultationwithintheregion,wasoneofthefirsttobecompleted (IUCN, 1996).The action plan reviews key issues associated with protected areas in East Asia andidentifies13priorityprojects.TheNatureConservationBureauoftheMinistryoftheEnvironment, GovernmentofJapangenerouslyofferedsupporttoimplementfiveofthese projects:Priority Project 1:Develop guidelines for sustainable tourism of protected areas in East Asia.Priority Project 2:Applyfull-cost accountingtoa protectedarea inthe regionwiththe aimofexhibiting the economic importance of protected areas.Priority Project 4:Compile a directory of funding and assistance sources for protected areas in EastAsia, covering multilateral, bilateral and regional sources of funds.Priority Project 10:Develop an exchange programme for protected area staff of the region with otherregions, e.g. Europe (perhaps through the partnership and technical programme ofEUROPARC).Priority Project 13:Compile a directory of protected area personnel and organisations in East Asia.The Nature Conservation Bureau asked IUCN to take the lead in carrying out theseprojects in close consultation with key agencies and individuals in the region. SupportfromJapanwasprovidedoverathree-yearperiodcommencing1October19981. Inresponse, four sub-projects were undertaken, each addressing one or more of the PriorityProjects in the action plan. As result, four publications are now being issued by IUCN:n GuidelinesforTourismandParksandProtectedAreasof East Asia(PriorityProject 1);n Guidelines for Financing Protected Areas in East Asia (Priority Projects 2 and 4);n Implementationof anExchangeProgrammeforProtectedAreasinEast Asia(Priority Project 10); andvii1The Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan offered another voluntary contribution for anadditional three years to support the further implementation of these Priority Projects.n Directory of Protected Area Personnel and Organisations in East Asia (PriorityProject 13).This publicationis therefore a response topriorityproject 13. It is a source ofbackground information for all concerned with protected areas in the region, presentinga directory of people, organisations and places.

Only by forming productive links among all protected area organi-sations, and initiatives, in the region can the aimof the East Asia Action Plan be realised.This Directory is intended to facilitate this networking and capacity building.The Directory is in three sections:I PeopleII OrganisationsIII PlacesThesectionentitledPeopleaimstoidentifykeyindividualsworkinginthepro-tectedareasfield. Suchindividualsincludeexpertsfromtheregion,membersoftheWCPAwithintheEastAsiaregionandtheRegionalWCPASteeringCommitteeforEast Asia. As well as listing the members contact details, it records their expertise inrelation to protected areas and conservation. This section also lists the Chief Executivesor Directors of the various protected area agencies in the region.The Organisations section describes the relevant government and non-governmentagencies and institutions operating in the region, as well as international organisationsfromother regions that have an interest in conservation and protected areas in East Asia.It lists the protected area agencies and government ministries and departments involvedinthemanagement of protectedareas.
