Home›Protected Areas›Managing Authority›National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Browse ByNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)This dimension names the specific agency or organization that manages a protected area day to day, as distinct from who merely governs its legal status. Wikipedia notes that the term also "includes marine protected areas and transboundary protected areas across multiple borders," and a transboundary area in particular may need more than one managing authority working together. Browsing by managing authority groups areas run by the same body across the atlas.FactsNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 1National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Filter Results26 entriesIUCN CategoryAllNational Parks of the Caribbean and Central America (26)National Designation TypeAllNational Park (22)ContinentAllNorth America (26)CountryAllCosta Rica (22)Establishment EraAll1955 (2)1971 (1)1972 (1)1973 (1)1974 (1)1975 (1)1976 (1)1978 (3)1982 (1)1989 (1)1991 (3)1992 (2)2003 (1)2006 (1)2019 (1)2020 (1)Area BandAll16.000000 (1)20.000000 (1)23.000000 (1)25.190000 (1)28.000000 (1)43.000000 (1)50.000000 (1)52.000000 (1)65.590000 (1)119.000000 (1)129.030000 (1)140.190000 (1)141.270000 (1)145.000000 (1)182.550000 (1)220.000000 (1)243.920000 (1)340.000000 (1)495.000000 (1)501.240000 (1)682.000000 (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (26)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (5)Marine (2)Terrestrial (18)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (5)UNESCO World Heritage Site (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 26Ballena Marine National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Barbilla National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Barra Honda National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Braulio Carrillo National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Cahuita National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Carara National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Chirripo National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Corcovado National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Diriá National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Guanacaste National Park (Costa Rica)National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Irazu Volcano National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Juan Castro Blanco National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)La Cangreja National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Las Baulas National Marine ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Los Quetzales National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Manuel Antonio National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Miravalles Jorge Manuel Dengo National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Palo Verde National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Piedras Blancas National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Poas Volcano National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Rincón de la Vieja National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)San Lucas Island National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Santa Rosa National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Tenorio Volcano National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Tortuguero National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)Turrialba Volcano National ParkNational System of Conservation Areas (SINAC)ConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
