Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Year›1978Browse By1978This 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.Facts1978ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11978Filter Results13 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (1)National Parks of Africa (1)National Parks of Asia (2)National Parks of Europe (1)National Parks of Germany (1)National Parks of the Caribbean and Central America (4)Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (World) (1)Wilderness Areas (World) (3)National Designation TypeAllIUCN Category V (Protected Landscape) (1)National Park (8)Nature Reserve (1)Wilderness Area (3)ContinentAllAfrica (1)Asia (4)North America (7)CountryAllChina (1)Costa Rica (4)Germany (1)India (2)Kenya (1)Sri Lanka (1)United States (3)Area BandAll39.000000 (1)52.000000 (1)88.640000 (1)107.000000 (1)127.000000 (1)182.550000 (1)208.040000 (1)243.920000 (1)720.000000 (1)1160.230000 (1)1971.410000 (1)3820.000000 (1)4400.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllDepartment of Forest Conservation (1)Department of Forests and Wildlife (1)Goa forest department (1)Kenya Wildlife Service (1)National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC) (3)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (12)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (1)Marine (1)Terrestrial (9)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (1)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (3)UNESCO World Heritage Site (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 13Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness1978Berchtesgaden National Park1978Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness1978Cahuita National Park1978Carara National Park1978Cocos Island National Park1978Eravikulam National Park1978Great Bear Wilderness1978Jiuzhaigou National Park1978Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park1978Mollem National Park1978Palo Verde National Park1978Sinharaja Forest Reserve1978ConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
