While unambiguous in terms of the remit of protected areas to conserve biological diversity, the definition is suitably broad with respect to the means of achieving this through a range of different public and private approaches to stewardship.
This definition of a private protected area, in which wildlife conservation is a primary activity, is weaker that the IUCN definition of a protected area, which is especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biodiversity (Section 1.1).

The objectives of the EAF were, deliberately, kept broad with a fairly flexible implementation approach to enable the initiative to respond to a largely untested market and to better understand the capacities and priorities of civil society and its diverse views on environmental issues.
This project aims at piloting a survey of the demographics of major conservation areas in Mozambique, and assess the opportunities and constraints for communities in terms of resources access, land tenure and land rights, benefit sharing, etc. in one hand and in the other the opportunities and constraints for resources conservation.
More specifically in Mozambique as a result of population growth, persistent rural poverty and quick private sector development, the degradation of a number of environmental and natural resources has attained such proportions that the economic growth capabilities are already being affected.

For example, for a Category I area, the size should be that needed to ensure the integrity of the area to accomplish the management objective of strict protection, either as a baseline area or research site, or for wilderness protection.
For a Category II area, the boundaries should be drawn sufficiently widely that they contain one, or more, entire ecosystems which are not subject to material modification by human exploitation or occupation.
However, in order to establish the appropriate category, at least three-quarters and preferably more of the area must be managed for the primary purpose; and the management of the remaining area must not be in conflict with that primary purpose.

 The Wilderness of the World: Thirty-seven Wilderness Areas
First of all, a wilderness area needs to be a distinct biogeographic unit, or a series of units (e.g., ecoregions) within a biome type that share certain biological features.
For wilderness areas, we are proposing the opposite, that to qualify as a wilderness area, a region would have to be 70% or more intact as determined by remaining natural vegetation—meaning that no more than 30% of the region could be destroyed or significantly degraded by human activities.
We also believe that it is critical that these areas still maintain intact faunal assemblages of large mammals and birds, especially large, wide-ranging predators (large cats, bears), large raptors like eagles, large herbivores, large frugivorous primates, and other key species that are the first to disappear in the face of human pressure.

Thus, the coastal plain is mainly an undulating sandy area with associated wetland basins, various river systems and their floodplains, and towards the modern coast, estuaries, barred lagoons, and a ubiquitous dune barrier.
RBM have mining rights in the St. Lucia area which are close to their existing plant and could be exploited with minimal extra transport costs; they state that they currently have no other rights over reserves of remotely comparable value.
The Ramsar concept of wise use of wetlands is generally interpreted in the sense of planning land use over a broad area of wetlands, where establishment of strict conservation areas and measures is combined with sustainable use of wetland functions and values.
