Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Year›1986Browse By1986This 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.Facts1986ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11986Filter Results8 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (1)National Parks of Africa (2)National Parks of Asia (1)National Parks of Europe (1)National Parks of Germany (1)Natural Monuments or Features (World) (1)Protected Areas with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (World) (1)Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllNational Memorial (1)National Park (4)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)ContinentAllAfrica (2)Asia (2)North America (2)CountryAllGermany (1)India (1)Kenya (1)Malaysia (1)Mexico (1)South Africa (1)United States (2)Area BandAll0.240000 (1)4.050000 (1)200.000000 (1)483.000000 (1)1436.000000 (1)3450.000000 (1)5281.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllDepartment of Environment and Forest of Arunachal Pradesh (1)Patrick Henry Memorial Foundation (1)South African National Parks (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (4)Private Governance (1)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (3)Marine (1)Terrestrial (3)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (2)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2)UNESCO World Heritage Site (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 8Columbia River Gorge1986Kota Kinabalu Wetland Centre1986Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park1986Mombasa Marine National Park and Reserve1986Mouling National Park1986Red Hill Patrick Henry National Memorial1986Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve1986Tankwa Karoo National Park1986ConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
