Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2024 - Terrestrial

The Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) provides both spatial and textual information about government, Indigenous and privately protected areas for Australia, in both the marine and terrestrial environments. State, Territory and the large NGO conservation agencies supplied data current for 30 June 2024. CAPAD provides a snapshot of protected areas that meet the IUCN definition of a protected area: "A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values." (IUCN Definition 2008). The department publishes a summary of the CAPAD data biennially on its website at https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/land/nrs/science/capad.澳大利亚保护区协同数据库（Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database，CAPAD）可为澳大利亚提供覆盖海洋与陆地环境的政府、原住民及私人保护区的空间与文本信息。澳大利亚各州、领地及大型非政府组织保护机构提供了截至2024年6月30日的最新数据用于该数据库建设。CAPAD收录了符合国际自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature，IUCN）保护区定义的保护区现状快照："保护区是指经合法或其他有效方式认定、专门划定并实施管理的明确地理空间，旨在实现自然的长期保护及其附带的生态系统服务与文化价值。"（国际自然保护联盟2008年版定义）澳大利亚气候变化、能源、环境与水利部每两年会在其官方网站https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/land/nrs/science/capad发布CAPAD数据摘要。
