National Other Areas (Points)
This data layer contains all remaining records of national Protected Areas point data that are not assigned both an IUCN classification and a "designated" status. This layer contains some points that are listed as 'Designated' but without IUCN classification and some with IUCN classification without being listed as 'Designated.'
Non-designated areas can correspond to areas that are not of categories I through VI, are being proposed for protection, have been degazetted (are no longer considered protected areas), or areas with incomplete or inaccurate information.
The group of areas that are not IUCN categories I through VI contain many important types of Protected Areas like Indigenous Reserves and Private Reserves that many countries do not consider part of the National Protected Area System.
