Home›Protected Areas›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.FactsContinentConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 1ContinentFilter Results7 entriesArea (sq km)All7,688,287 (1)10,186,000 (1)14,200,000 (1)17,840,000 (1)24,709,000 (1)30,370,000 (1)44,579,000 (1)Country CountAll1 (1)12 (1)23 (1)30 (1)44 (1)49 (1)54 (1)Highest Elevation (m)All2228 (1)4892 (1)5642 (1)5895 (1)6190 (1)6967 (1)8849 (1)PopulationAll0 (1)27,801,023 (1)434,254,119 (1)592,296,233 (1)745,173,774 (1)1,393,676,444 (1)4,694,576,167 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAfricaContinent89 entriesAntarcticaContinent1 entryAsiaContinent101 entriesAustraliaContinent40 entriesEuropeContinent267 entriesNorth AmericaContinent139 entriesSouth AmericaContinent66 entriesConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
