Arctic Protected Areas - 2017

The Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) and Protection of the Arctic Marine Environments (PAME) working groups of the Arctic Council developed this indicator report. It provides an overview of the status and trends of protected areas in the Arctic. The data used represents the results of the 2016 update to the Protected Areas Database submitted by each of the Arctic Council member states (Annex 1). This report uses the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) definition for protected areas (see Box 1) which includes a wide range of Management Categories – from strict nature reserve to protection with sustainable use. Consequently, the level of protection and governance of these areas varies throughout the circumpolar region and its countries.

Supplemental Information

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add

and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).

Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more

comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor

to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so

know what you do :-)
