Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Year›1956Browse By1956This 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.Facts1956ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11956Filter Results12 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (1)National Parks of Europe (7)National Parks of Finland (4)National Parks of Norway (1)National Parks of Poland (1)National Parks of Russia (1)Natural Monuments or Features (World) (2)Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (World) (1)Wilderness Areas (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllForest Reserve (1)National Monument (1)National Park (9)Natura 2000 Site (1)ContinentAllAfrica (1)Europe (10)North America (1)CountryAllCameroon (1)Finland (7)Poland (1)Sweden (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (1)Area BandAll0.800000 (1)7.000000 (1)13.000000 (1)16.695864 (1)22.000000 (1)96.000000 (1)285.000599 (1)1049.000000 (1)2146.000000 (1)2857.964317 (1)5517.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllMetsähallitus (7)Ministry of the Environment (1)Northumberland National Park Authority (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (9)Marine or TerrestrialAllTerrestrial (12)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (2)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)UNESCO Global Geopark (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 12Bakossi Forest Reserve1956Booker T.
