Every
country in the world has defined areas that are managed for conservation
of animals, plants and other natural and cultural features.
WCMC
locates and and compiles information on the protected
areas of the world. These can be identified and combined with other
data to produce lists and maps that illustrate the distribution of these
areas.
Our
information services include a Protected
Areas searchable database, virtual
library, Internet map server
and the World Heritage Information Network (WHIN)
developed with UNESCO.
