This WikiProject aims primarily to provide information on all protected areas (abbreviated on this page as PAs) in the world.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) [1] defines a protected area as:
An area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means.
National parks are probably the best-known PAs, but there are many other categories. Protected areas are those which a higher level governmental entity manages, maintains and or oversees directly. For instance in the United States, this would include primarily federal and to a lesser degree, state managed areas, but rarely those managed by a county or city.
Below are some suggested open tasks for Wikipedians looking to contribute.
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected Areas/Status
There shall be a List of Conservation topics which lists the various topics on conservation. (This probably does not belong here...)
There shall be four article levels in this WikiProject:
For test articles see: Protected areas of Australia, Protected areas of the United States
For a test article see: Protected areas of the Australian Capital Territory
Note: depending on the IUCN category a different colour background is used.
For test articles see:
Bob Marshall Wilderness
Yellowstone National Park
