WDPA on line
You can also download the latest version of the WDPA database on line, or browse it using an on line GIS. The Consortium favors having multiple sites that implement the WDPA database on-line. Each of these sites might add additional data (besides protected areas) that can enrich the user experience.
The list of sites is growing. A partial list includes:
The World Commission on Protected Areas Portal: to find news about the database use, feedback from users, additional datasets, etc. www.biodiversity.org/wcpa
ftp (download) and Map Server (on line GIS) sites:
- Conservation International gis.Conservation.org
- The Nature Conservancy gis.tnc.org
- The University of Maryland maps.geog.umd.edu/WDPA/index.html
The central WDPA database (includes data added after annual releases) at the UNEP-WCMC site: www.unep-wcmc.org
