Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Decade›1990sBrowse By1990sThis 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.Facts1990sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification
