Home›National Park›ContinentBrowse ByContinentThis dimension groups protected areas by the continent they are located on. Wikipedia notes that "the idea of continental drift gained recognition in the 20th century," a reminder that even continents themselves have a history, and every protected area sits on one of the seven that resulted. Browsing by continent groups reserves with others from the same part of the world.FactsContinentSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonIUCN Category CodeWell-attestedII - National Park
