Georeferenced database of Argentina’s protected areas system

We identified 575 designated terrestrial protected areas under IUCN categories I-VI, covering a total area of 322,684 km², with different levels of national and local government jurisdiction. This represents approximately 11.6% of Argentina’s total land area. Notably, the World Database of PAs lists only 395 PAs for Argentina. Therefore, our database is significantly more comprehensive and could serve as a valuable resource for conservation assessments and planning.
