🏞️ Protected Areas of the World

These are the world's notable protected areas — parks, reserves and conserved lands set aside to safeguard nature, wildlife and cultural heritage. This library is large, so it is browsed by continent, then by country. Each profile shows where the site is, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.

5195 protected areas from 166 countries. This library is large, so it is browsed in two steps: pick a continent, then a country; each country page lists its protected areas a screen at a time. Open any protected area for its full profile.
