Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Year›1989Browse By1989This 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.Facts1989ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11989Filter Results8 entriesIUCN CategoryAllNational Parks of Africa (2)National Parks of Asia (1)National Parks of Europe (3)National Parks of Norway (1)National Parks of Poland (1)National Parks of Spain (1)National Parks of the Caribbean and Central America (1)Wilderness Areas (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllBiosphere Reserve (1)National Park (7)Wilderness Area (1)ContinentAllAfrica (2)Asia (1)Europe (3)North America (2)CountryAllCosta Rica (1)India (1)Kenya (2)Norway (1)Poland (1)Spain (1)United States (1)Area BandAll150.860000 (1)226.320000 (1)229.797600 (1)340.000000 (1)363.370000 (1)876.000000 (1)1788.000000 (1)2192.000000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllDirectorate for Nature Management (1)Kenya Wildlife Service (1)Ministry of the Environment (1)National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC) (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (6)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (1)Terrestrial (7)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (1)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 8Betla National Park1989Guanacaste National Park (Costa Rica)1989Kora National Park1989Malka Mari National Park1989Mount Moriah Wilderness1989Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park1989Sierra de las Nieves National Park1989Wigry National Park1989ConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
