Welcome to NATIONAL PARKS WORLDWIDE with the national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas of this country or territory.  Most data are public data available from the World Protected Areas Database. The accuracy varies considerably per country and is incomplete for most countries of the world. We have corrected some systematic spelling mistakes related to accents (é, ñ, ê, ö, etc.) for languages that we master (Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German), but many remain. Whenever the United Nations organization responsible for this Database,  the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge improves their data on the protected areas, we will be able to provide you with better data. Or alternatively, if you can fill out the list of your country or a part of it, with the data on the protected areas, we will put them on the webpage for your country. Click here for downloading the little digital form.
