Home›Protected Areas›National Designation Type›Nature ReserveBrowse ByNature ReserveThis dimension names the specific kind of legal designation a protected area holds, a national park, a nature reserve or a wilderness area. Wikipedia describes protected areas broadly as "locations that receive protection because of their recognized natural or cultural values," and the exact designation determines what protection actually means in practice. Browsing by designation type groups areas that carry the same formal status.FactsNature ReserveConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 1Nature ReserveFilter Results13 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (7)National Parks of Asia (1)National Parks of Oceania and the Pacific (1)Natural Monuments or Features (World) (1)Protected Areas with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (World) (1)Strict Nature Reserves (World) (2)ContinentAllAfrica (2)Asia (3)Australia (2)Europe (3)North America (3)CountryAllAustralia (1)Belgium (1)Belize (1)Bulgaria (1)India (1)Jordan (1)Madagascar (1)Poland (1)Seychelles (1)Sri Lanka (1)United States (2)Establishment EraAll1927 (1)1948 (1)1952 (2)1959 (1)1965 (1)1975 (1)1978 (1)1979 (1)2004 (1)Area BandAll0.195000 (1)1.580000 (1)2.430000 (1)4.970000 (1)5.350000 (1)6.380000 (1)8.500000 (1)80.000000 (1)88.640000 (1)259.000000 (1)430.820000 (1)853.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllDepartment of Forest Conservation (1)Forests & Environment Department (1)Madagascar National Parks (1)Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (4)Private Governance (3)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (1)Terrestrial (10)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (2)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 13Blackacre Nature Preserve and Historic HomesteadNature ReserveClarkesdale Bird SanctuaryNature ReserveColo-i-Suva Forest ReserveNature ReserveDibbeen Forest ReserveNature ReserveGir National ParkNature ReserveKabaty WoodsNature ReserveMountain Pine Ridge Forest ReserveNature ReserveSanta Lucia PreserveNature ReserveSinharaja Forest ReserveNature ReserveSrebarna Nature ReserveNature ReserveTsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature ReserveNature ReserveVallée de Mai Nature ReserveNature ReserveZwinNature ReserveConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
