Home›Protected Areas›Managing Authority›US National Park ServiceBrowse ByUS National Park ServiceThis 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.FactsUS National Park ServiceConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonClassification AuthorityWell-attestedIUCN Protected Area Management Categories 1US National Park ServiceFilter Results5 entriesIUCN CategoryAllNational Parks of North America (4)Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (World) (1)National Designation TypeAllNational Park (4)National Park and Preserve (1)ContinentAllNorth America (5)CountryAllUnited States (5)Establishment EraAll1872 (1)1890 (1)1917 (1)1919 (1)1947 (1)Area BandAll3070.000000 (1)4926.080000 (1)6106.610000 (1)8983.000000 (1)24464.000000 (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (5)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (1)Terrestrial (4)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (1)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2)UNESCO World Heritage Site (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5Denali National Park and PreserveUS National Park ServiceEverglades National ParkUS National Park ServiceGrand Canyon National ParkUS National Park ServiceYellowstone National ParkUS National Park ServiceYosemite National ParkUS National Park ServiceConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 828 connections.Sources1.
