Home›Protected Areas›International Designation›UNESCO Global GeoparkBrowse ByUNESCO Global GeoparkThis dimension names any additional international recognition a protected area holds beyond its own country's designation, a World Heritage Site or a Biosphere Reserve, for example. Wikipedia notes that the IUCN's own categorisation method "is recognised on a global scale by national governments and international bodies such as the United Nations and the Convention on Biological Diversity," the same kind of cross border recognition this dimension records. Browsing by international designation groups areas that carry global, not just national, standing.FactsUNESCO Global GeoparkConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 1UNESCO Global GeoparkFilter Results12 entriesIUCN CategoryAllNational Parks of Asia (1)National Parks of Europe (9)National Parks of Finland (2)National Parks of Greece (2)National Parks of Hungary (1)National Parks of Ireland (1)National Parks of Italy (3)Natural Monuments or Features (World) (2)National Designation TypeAllNational Geopark (1)National Park (8)ContinentAllAsia (1)Europe (9)CountryAllChina (2)Finland (2)Greece (1)Hungary (1)Italy (3)Japan (1)Establishment EraAll1956 (1)1963 (1)1973 (1)1977 (1)1982 (1)1991 (2)1994 (1)2005 (1)Area BandAll0.170210 (1)16.695864 (1)57.702479 (1)126.000000 (1)211.610000 (1)322.000000 (1)431.300000 (1)641.500000 (1)740.820000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllMetsähallitus (2)Ministero dell'Ambiente (3)Ministry of Land and Resources (1)Ministry of the Environment (Japan) (1)National Forest Department (Greek Ministry of Agriculture) (1)National Parks and Wildlife Service (Ireland) (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (9)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (1)Terrestrial (10)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 12Aspromonte National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkBukk National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkBurren National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkChelmos-Vouraikos National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkLauhanvuori National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkMaiella National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkRokua National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkSanin Kaigan National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkShilin Stone ForestUNESCO Global GeoparkVal Grande National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkVikos-Aoos National ParkUNESCO Global GeoparkZhangye Danxia National GeoparkUNESCO Global GeoparkConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
