The WCPA Regions in detail...

The following list presents the name of each WCPA Region and the countries and territories included in it. For each of these regions you will find an Excel file in the CD-ROM containing list of protected areas and associated data. There are a total of fourteen out of the sixteen WCPA regions: Europe and Antarctica have not been included. The European case is quite complex due to the great number and designations of protected areas. In addition, Europe has its own mechanism for compiling, integrating and quality controlling these data through the European Environment Agency.
