Where and how do you source your data?
The World Database on Protected Areas is a joint project between UN Environment Programme and the IUCN. Data are submitted by governments, international secretariates, regional entities, NGOs and individuals to the Protected Planet team at UNEP-WCMC. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species follows a standardized process using the rigorous IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria and guidelines, ensuring the highest standards of scientific documentation, information management, expert review, and justification. Key Biodiversity Areas are proposed through a bottom-up process following the ‘Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas’ and using the Guidelines for using A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas, these sites are then reviewed independently and nominated for acceptance into the WDKBA.
