Home›Wilderness Area›Wilderness Areas (World)GroupWilderness 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.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonIUCN DesignationWell-attestedIb - Wilderness Area (IUCN Category) 1Browse ByAll Wilderness Areas (World)Wilderness Areas (World)18 entriesWilderness Areas (World)Filter Results18 entriesIUCN CategoryAllWilderness Areas (World) (18)National 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 Area2 linksAnsel Adams WildernessWilderness Area2 linksBob Marshall WildernessWilderness Area2 linksBoundary Waters Canoe Area WildernessWilderness Area2 linksEagle Cap WildernessWilderness Area2 linksEmigrant WildernessWilderness Area2 linksFrank Church-River of No Return WildernessWilderness Area2 linksGates of the Arctic WildernessWilderness Area2 linksGila WildernessWilderness Area2 linksGreat Bear WildernessWilderness Area2 linksJohn Muir WildernessWilderness Area2 linksLemmenjoki National ParkWilderness Area2 linksMount Moriah WildernessWilderness Area2 linksPadjelanta National ParkWilderness AreaReinheimen National ParkWilderness Area1 linkSelway-Bitterroot WildernessWilderness Area2 linksSor-Spitsbergen National ParkWilderness Area2 linksWild Nephin National ParkWilderness Area1 linkSources1.
