Protected areas are a critical refuge for nature in face of a burgeoning human population and ecological footprint. The IUCN Green List promotes conservation performance and quality in these areas.
Protected Planet is an online platform where users can access statistics and download data on protected areas for information-based decision making, policy development, and business and conservation planning. It’s managed by the United Nations Environment Programme’s World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) with support from IUCN and its World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA).
