World Database on
Protected Areas/ Verdensomspændende informationssystem for
beskyttede områder
- Protected areas are internationally recognised as major tools
in conserving species and ecosystems. Up to date information on
protected areas is essential to enable a wide range of conservation
and development activities. Since 1981 UNEP-WCMC, through its
Protected Areas Programme, has been compiling this information and
making it available to the global community. The WDPA is a joint
project of UNEP and IUCN, produced by UNEP-WCMC and the IUCN World
Commission on Protected Areas working with governments and
collaborating NGOs.
