Supplementary notes

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) notes: 

"Globally, there are two widely accepted definitions of a protected area that are considered equivalent The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) defines a protected area as 'a geographically defined area which is designated or regulated and managed to achieve specific conservation objectives', and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) describes a protected area as 'a clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values'."
