  abstract = {{P}rotected areas ({PA}s) are pivotal for biodiversity conservation, particularly in developing countries. {H}owever, success in achieving their objectives is variable. {T}he reasons for the inconsistent effectiveness of {PA}s are well documented and include inadequate resources and conflicting objectives. {D}espite the proliferation of tools and guidelines for monitoring and evaluation ({M}&{E}) of {PA}s over recent decades, a gap persists between the availability of these resources and their practical application. {T}his review of more than 114 publications on the subject summarizes and critically examines the approaches and tools used for {M}&{E} of {PA}s, in particular in developing countries. {I}t highlights the existing shortcomings and explores the causes behind the ongoing disconnect between theoretical guidance and operational reality. {B}ased on this review, we suggest recommendations to improve the efficacy and sustainability of {M}&{E} practices in the {PA}s of developing countries, with an emphasis on integrating the needs of local communities and adopting a strategy of adaptive management.},
