Abstract

Protected areas are powerful tools to tackle the biodiversity crisis and threat assessments of protected areas are essential for ensuring conservation and taking protective measures in the future. Dena protected area is one of the richest parts of the country in terms of biodiversity with an area of 93780 hectares located in the Sisakht County. In this study, the Delphi method was used to identify Risks in the region. According to the Likert range, from 26 identified Risks in the region, 18 risk factors were selected as the final Risks in tow groups of environmental Risks and natural Risks. In order to analyse and prioritize the identified Risks, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Expert Choice software were used. The results showed that the soil erosion risk with weight of 0. 105, the risk of damaging local agricultural impacts with weight of 0. 025 in physical sub criteria, eradication of pasture and medicinal plants with weight of 0. 049 in biological sub criteria, exploitation of vegetation and forests for providing the forage of livestock, fuel and… with weigh of 0. 0104 in socio-economic sub-criteria and lack of efficient environment management with weigh of 0. 074 in cultural sub criteria have the highest weight, respectively. Regional management indicated that proper planning and integrative efficient management for protecting the area is not currently carried out. Risk Management, optimal implementation of all criteria specified in laws of protection and environment improvement and identifying vulnerable areas can be effective for managing the Dena Protected Area.
