Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Year›1992Browse By1992This 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.Facts1992ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11992Filter Results9 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (2)National Parks of Africa (2)National Parks of Bulgaria (1)National Parks of Europe (2)National Parks of Greece (1)National Parks of the Caribbean and Central America (2)Protected Areas with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllFaunal Reserve (1)Marine Protected Area (1)Marine Sanctuary (1)National Marine Park (1)National Park (4)ContinentAllAfrica (3)Asia (1)Europe (2)North America (3)CountryAllBulgaria (1)Costa Rica (2)Democratic Republic of the Congo (2)Greece (1)Sri Lanka (1)Uganda (1)United States (1)Area BandAll145.000000 (1)169.000000 (1)306.700000 (1)768.000000 (1)810.460000 (1)2260.000000 (1)13726.250000 (1)15783.390000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllDepartment of Wildlife Conservation (1)Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (2)joint venture between ministries (1)Kenya Wildlife Service, Uganda Wildlife Authority (1)Ministry of Environment and Water of Bulgaria (1)National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC) (2)NOAA National Ocean Service (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (8)Shared Governance (1)Marine or TerrestrialAllMarine (5)Terrestrial (4)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (1)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2)UNESCO World Heritage Site (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 9Alonnisos Marine Park1992Ballena Marine National Park1992Bar Reef1992Juan Castro Blanco National Park1992Mangroves National Park1992Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary1992Mount Elgon National Park1992Okapi Wildlife Reserve1992Rila National Park1992ConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
