World Database on Protected Areas World polygon UNEP Aug 2014

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive spatial dataset on the world's marine and terrestrial protected areas, produced through a joint initiative of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United National Environment Programme (UNEP). The WDPA contains the UN List of protected areas (official national data) as well as authoritative information sourced by non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, international convention secretariats and many others. The WDPA is used for reporting on global indicators and trends, ecological gap analysis, environmental impact analysis and is increasingly used for private sector decision-making. The WDPA is hosted and managed at the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre.
