Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Decade›1920sBrowse By1920sThis 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.Facts1920sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11920sFilter Results11 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (2)National Parks of Africa (2)National Parks of Europe (3)National Parks of Iceland (1)National Parks of Italy (1)National Parks of South America (1)National Parks of Sweden (1)Natural Monuments or Features (World) (1)Strict Nature Reserves (World) (2)National Designation TypeAllGame Reserve (1)National Park (6)Nature Reserve (1)Wildlife Sanctuary (1)Zapovednik (1)ContinentAllAfrica (4)Asia (1)Europe (3)South America (1)CountryAllChile (1)Democratic Republic of the Congo (1)Iceland (1)India (1)Italy (1)Madagascar (1)Russia (1)South Africa (1)Sweden (2)Tanzania (1)Area BandAll1.980000 (1)27.039400 (1)227.887081 (1)343.800000 (1)496.800000 (1)850.000000 (1)853.000000 (1)2537.800000 (1)7800.000000 (1)19623.000000 (1)54600.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllCorporación Nacional Forestal (1)Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (1)Madagascar National Parks (1)Ministero dell'Ambiente (1)Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India (1)Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (Russia) (1)Naturvårdsverket (2)South African National Parks (SANParks) (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (9)Marine or TerrestrialAllTerrestrial (10)International DesignationAllUNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (5)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park1920sBlå Jungfrun National Park1920sIlmensky Nature Reserve1920sKruger National Park1920sManas Wildlife Sanctuary1920sSelous Game Reserve1920sThingvellir National Park1920sTsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve1920sVadvetjåkka National Park1920sVicente Pérez Rosales National Park1920sVirunga National Park1920sConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
