Home›Wilderness Area›IUCN Category›Wilderness Areas (World)›All Wilderness Areas (World)Browse ByAll Wilderness Areas (World)This group collects the 18 Protected Areas subcategory members that the atlas already places under its own Wilderness Area subcategory, the whole real-world population the atlas covers there. It is a single flat group, not split further by region or country, because Wilderness Area stays well under the atlas's own hundred-member threshold for a further split. It sits directly under the Wilderness Area subcategory and under the atlas's own Groups category, giving a reader a direct browse path from either the Wilderness Area subcategory page or the Groups index.FactsAll Wilderness Areas (World)SourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonIUCN DesignationWell-attestedIb - Wilderness Area (IUCN Category) 1All Wilderness Areas (World)Filter Results18 entriesNational Designation TypeAllNational Park (2)Wilderness Area (13)ContinentAllEurope (4)North America (13)CountryAllFinland (1)Norway (1)United States (13)Establishment EraAll1940 (1)1956 (1)1964 (5)1974 (1)1978 (3)1980 (2)1989 (1)Area BandAll363.370000 (1)454.370000 (1)936.980000 (1)1160.230000 (1)1462.720000 (1)2258.200000 (1)2641.760000 (1)2857.964317 (1)3820.000000 (1)4084.720000 (1)4400.000000 (1)5300.000000 (1)8504.000000 (1)9578.210000 (1)29004.600000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllDirectorate for Nature Management (2)Metsähallitus (1)National Park Service (1)National Parks and Wildlife Service (1)Naturvårdsverket (1)United States Forest Service (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (18)Marine or TerrestrialAllTerrestrial (18)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (2)UNESCO World Heritage Site (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 18Absaroka-Beartooth WildernessWilderness AreaAnsel Adams WildernessWilderness AreaBob Marshall WildernessWilderness AreaBoundary Waters Canoe Area WildernessWilderness AreaEagle Cap WildernessWilderness AreaEmigrant WildernessWilderness AreaFrank Church-River of No Return WildernessWilderness AreaGates of the Arctic WildernessWilderness AreaGila WildernessWilderness AreaGreat Bear WildernessWilderness AreaJohn Muir WildernessWilderness AreaLemmenjoki National ParkWilderness AreaMount Moriah WildernessWilderness AreaPadjelanta National ParkWilderness AreaReinheimen National ParkWilderness AreaSelway-Bitterroot WildernessWilderness AreaSor-Spitsbergen National ParkWilderness AreaWild Nephin National ParkWilderness AreaSources1.
