WDPA - Government Protected Areas

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas, updated on a monthly basis, and is one of the key global biodiversity data sets being widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, International secretariats and others to inform planning, policy decisions and management. The WDPA is a joint project between UN Environment and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The compilation and management of the WDPA is carried out by UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organisations, academia and industry. There are monthly updates of the data which are made available online through the Protected Planet website where the data is both viewable and downloadable. Data and information on the world's protected areas compiled in the WDPA are used for reporting to the Convention on Biological Diversity on progress towards reaching the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (particularly Target 11), to the UN to track progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, to some of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) core indicators, and other international assessments and reports including the Global Biodiversity Outlook, as well as for the publication of the United Nations List of Protected Areas. Every two years, UNEP-WCMC releases the Protected Planet Report on the status of the world's protected areas and recommendations on how to meet international goals and targets. Many platforms are incorporating the WDPA to provide integrated information to diverse users, including businesses and governments, in a range of sectors including mining, oil and gas, and finance. For example, the WDPA is included in the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool, an innovative decision support tool that gives users easy access to up-to-date information that allows them to identify biodiversity risks and opportunities within a project boundary. The reach of the WDPA is further enhanced in services developed by other parties, such as the Global Forest Watch and the Digital Observatory for Protected Areas, which provide decision makers with access to monitoring and alert systems that allow whole landscapes to be managed better. Together, these applications of the WDPA demonstrate the growing value and significance of the Protected Planet initiative. Government Protected Areas query: All of these expressions must be true: Status is 'Inscribed' or Status is 'Established' or Status is 'Designated' and Designation Type is not 'International' or English Designation is not 'Biosphere Reserve' or English Designation is not 'Biosphere Reserve and Indigenous territory' or English Designation is not 'Biosphere polygon' or English Designation is not 'UNESCO-MAB Biosphere Reserve'世界保护区数据库（World Database on Protected Areas, WDPA）是全球最全面的海洋与陆地保护区数据库，按月更新，是当前广泛使用的核心全球生物多样性数据集之一，可供科学家、企业、政府、国际秘书处及其他多方用于规划制定、政策决策与管理工作。该数据库为联合国环境规划署（UN Environment）与国际自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN）的联合项目，其数据编撰与管理工作由联合国环境规划署世界保护监测中心（UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre, UNEP-WCMC）牵头，联合各国政府、非政府组织、学术界与产业界共同完成。 该数据库每月更新数据，用户可通过保护地星球（Protected Planet）官网在线查看并下载完整数据集。收录于WDPA的全球保护区相关数据与信息，可用于向《生物多样性公约》汇报《爱知生物多样性目标》（尤其是目标11）的落实进展，向联合国追踪2030年可持续发展目标的推进情况，用于生物多样性和生态系统服务政府间科学政策平台（Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, IPBES）的核心指标统计，以及包括《全球生物多样性展望》在内的各类国际评估与报告，同时还可用于编制《联合国保护区名录》。 每两年，UNEP-WCMC都会发布《保护地星球报告》，阐述全球保护区的现状，并就如何达成国际目标与指标提出针对性建议。诸多平台正整合WDPA数据，为采矿、油气、金融等多个领域的企业、政府等多元用户提供集成化信息服务。例如，综合生物多样性评估工具（Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool）即纳入了WDPA数据，这款创新的决策支持工具可让用户便捷获取最新数据，从而识别项目边界内的生物多样性风险与发展机遇。此外，全球森林观察（Global Forest Watch）与保护区数字观测站（Digital Observatory for Protected Areas）等第三方开发的服务，进一步拓展了WDPA的应用边界，这些服务可为决策者提供监测与预警系统，助力实现全域景观的精细化管理。上述各类WDPA的应用实践，均彰显了保护地星球倡议日益提升的价值与重要意义。 政府保护区查询条件：需同时满足以下全部要求：状态为「已登记（Inscribed）」、「已设立（Established）」或「已指定（Designated）」；指定类型不为「国际（International）」；且英文指定名称不为「生物圈保护区（Biosphere Reserve）」、「生物圈保护区与原住民领地（Biosphere Reserve and Indigenous territory）」、「生物圈多边形（Biosphere polygon）」或「联合国教科文组织-人与生物圈计划生物圈保护区（UNESCO-MAB Biosphere Reserve）」
