Protected area totals and trends in this dataset are derived from publicly available boundaries sourced from Protected Planet. However, some countries restrict the release of detailed protected area boundaries, leading to differences between our totals and those reported by the World Database on Protected Areas. Due to these data restrictions, our protected area totals are lower both globally and in regions where boundaries are not publicly accessible.
