Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Decade›1900sBrowse By1900sThis dimension groups protected areas by the era in which each one was established. Protection itself has expanded enormously over time, since Wikipedia notes that "as of 2016, there are over 161,000 protected areas representing about 17 percent of the world's land surface area (excluding Antarctica)," a total built up designation by designation across more than a century. Browsing by establishment era groups areas set aside during the same wave of conservation.Facts1900sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11900sFilter Results11 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (2)National Parks of Africa (1)National Parks of Europe (3)National Parks of Sweden (3)Natural Monuments or Features (World) (4)Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllNational Monument (4)National Park (5)Wildlife Refuge (2)ContinentAllAfrica (1)Europe (1)North America (6)CountryAllNamibia (1)Sweden (4)United States (6)Area BandAll1.949000 (1)2.240000 (1)5.150000 (1)5.450000 (1)21.760000 (1)30.900000 (1)44.638800 (1)76.080000 (1)103.000000 (1)1279.933200 (1)22270.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllConfederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) (1)Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Namibia (1)National Park Service (4)Naturvårdsverket (4)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (9)Governance by Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (1)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (1)Terrestrial (10)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11Ängsö National Park1900sDevils Tower National Monument1900sEtosha National Park1900sGotska Sandön National Park1900sJewel Cave National Monument1900sMuir Woods National Monument1900sNational Bison Range1900sNatural Bridges National Monument1900sPelican Island National Wildlife Refuge1900sSånfjället National Park1900sStora Sjöfallet National Park1900sConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
