Home›Protected Areas›Establishment Era›By Year›1999Browse By1999This 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.Facts1999ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 11999Filter Results10 entriesIUCN CategoryAllHabitat and Species Management Areas (World) (3)National Parks of Africa (1)National Parks of Asia (2)National Parks of Europe (2)National Parks of Greece (1)National Parks of Italy (1)National Parks of the Caribbean and Central America (1)Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllMarine Protected Area (3)National Marine Park (1)National Park (4)Protected Landscape (1)ContinentAllAfrica (1)Asia (3)Australia (1)Europe (2)North America (1)CountryAllBelize (1)Cambodia (1)Greece (1)India (2)Italy (1)Netherlands (1)South Africa (1)Tuvalu (1)Area BandAll3.640000 (1)13.681800 (1)26.000000 (1)33.000000 (1)38.600000 (1)107.000000 (1)126.500000 (1)350.000000 (1)492.460000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllGovernment of India, Government of Assam (1)Guam Department of Agriculture (1)Ministero dell'Ambiente (1)South African National Parks (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (5)Private Governance (1)Shared Governance (1)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (2)Marine (3)Terrestrial (4)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (1)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 10Ang Trapeang Thma1999Bacalar Chico National Park and Marine Reserve1999Bonaire National Marine Park1999Cinque Terre National Park1999Dibru-Saikhowa National Park1999Funafuti Conservation Area1999Namaqua National Park1999Orang National Park1999Piti Bomb Holes Marine Preserve1999Prespes National Park1999ConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
