UNEP-WCMC has launched a redesigned and reimagined Protected Planet website. Protectedplanet.net is the online face of the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), a product of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that is managed at UNEP-WCMC. The improved website represents a renewed focus on the data that drive Protected Planet; the download process has been streamlined, statistics are easy to find, and the data you’ll find on the website are as up-to-date as the latest WDPA release.

ProtectedPlanet.net is the new face of the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA). Its humble beginnings started 30 years ago as the United Nations global list of national parks and has evolved into the only global, spatially referenced information source on parks and protected areas. We have created ProtectedPlanet.net not only to showcase this wealth of information, but also give tools to willing ‘citizen scientists’ who can feed their knowledge about protected areas into the WDPA.
