This dimension groups protected areas by how much land or sea each one actually covers. International policy itself now targets area at a global scale: Wikipedia notes that "the 30 by 30 initiative has targeted to protect 30% of ocean territory and 30% of land territory worldwide by 2030," the same kind of area measurement this dimension applies to a single reserve. Browsing by area band separates vast wilderness areas from small local reserves.
