INTRODUCTION
Protected areas

make

a vital contribution to the conservation of the world's natural and cultural

resources. Values range from retention of representative samples of natural regions and the preservation of biological diversity, to the maintenance of environmental stability of surrounding
regions. Protected areas can provide opportunity for rural development and rational use of

marginal lands, for research and monitoring, for conservation education, and for recreation and tourism. As a result most countries have developed systems of protected areas.

However, protected area systems vary considerably one country to another, depending on needs and priorities, and on differences in legislative, institutional and financial support. Also, the range of services and values that protected areas provide is such that some management
objectives are not compatible with others. This has lead to the emergence of a wide range of

protected area designations and definitions.

The aim of the

UN List is to provide a definitive list of protected areas meeting certain criteria.

History of the

UN List
is

The United Nations List of National Parks and Equivalent Reserves

drawn up at the request of the United Nations following a resolution adopted by the General Assembly at its Sixteenth Session in December 1962 on "Economic Development and Nature Conservation". This
resolution served to endorse an earlier resolution (No. 713) of the 27th session of the

UN

Economic and

Social Council held in 1959, which recognised National Parks and Equivalent

Reserves as an important factor in the wise use of natural resovirces, and led to the compilation of the first World List of National Parks and Equivalent Reserves.

rUCN was

instrumental in the preparation of the two resolutions, and has since had prime

responsibility for the compilation

and maintenance of the

list

The

UN

List

is

now

jointiy

compiled by the

lUCN Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas, and by the Protected

Areas Data Unit, part of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre. The version of the UN List immediately preceding this was published by lUCN in 1985; other versions were pubUshed in 1961/2, 1966 (English version 1971), 1972 (addendum to the 1966/71 list), 1973, 1974, 1975,

1980 and 1982.

The lUCN Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas


lUCN's Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas (CNPPA)
international scientific
is

the leading

and technical body concerned with the selection, establishment and management of national parks and other protected areas. Its membership includes protected areas
professionals from

more Uian 90 countries. CNPPA is responsible for tiiat part of the lUCN Programme which promotes the establishment of a world-wide network of effectively managed
terrestrial

and marine protected

areas.

During preparation of this edition of the UN List, CNPPA has been under the chairmanship of Harold Eidsvik, Senior Policy Advisor to the Canadian Parks Service, with Adrian Phillips, Director General of the Countryside Commission of England and Wales, as Deputy Chairman. During die same period, die work of the Commission has been coordinated by Dr James Thorsell,
based
at the

lUCN

headquarters in Gland, Switzeriand. Organisation of the Commission

is

regional, witii 12 regional Vice-Chairmen, and tiiere are normally two Commission meetings a year. Since die last UN List was compiled, tiiere have been meetings in Argentina, Niger, New

Zealand, Costa Rica,

Italy,

Vanuatu and Czechoslovakia.

Introduction

The WCMC

Protected Areas Data Unit

The Protected Areas Data Unit (PADU) was established by CNfPPA in 1981 to handle the increasing amount of information, and to assist the Commission in preparing publications on national parks and other protected areas around the world. The unit is now a part of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, and is based in Cambridge in the United Kingdom. The objective of PADU's work is to be able to provide accurate up-to-date information on individual
protected areas and protected area systems of the world to those

Management objectives: A series of protected area management categories, defined by management objective, are identified by lUCN/CNPPA in the paper on Categories, Objectives and Criteria for Protected Areas published in the proceedings of the World National Parks Congress held in Bah. The definitions of each category are provided below. Nationally designated sites are allocated to the relevant lUCN Categories, on the basis of their legally defined management objectives, and implementation of those objectives.

Each

benefit is related to specific objectives of management, such as the protection of rare or endangered species or habitats, the conservation of natural features of aesthetic value, and the conservation of areas where renewable resources can be utilised on a sustained-yield basis. Ideally all objectives and activities are related to environmental protection and to economic and
social development.

Areas which are managed to meet specified compatible conservation objectives can be considered to be "protected areas"; they can be classified according to the objectives for which they are being managed. In contrast, however, the specific means required to meet the objectives
of conservation will depend upon each particular situation and will vary with cultural,
institutional, political

and economic considerations.

Conservation categories provide the basis for clearly incorporating conservation into development (eco-development). Each category relates to one or several of the major goals of a

New

Delhi in November 1969 approved a

definition of the term "national park" in accordance with the following resolution:

Considering the importance given by the United Nations to the national park concept, as a sensible use of natural resources, and considering the increasing use which has been made during these last few years in some countries of the term
"national park" to designate areas with increasingly different status and objectives.

The 10th General Assembly of lUCN meeting in New Delhi in November 1969 recommends that all governments agree to reserve the term "national park" to areas

A national park is a relatively large area where:

an important tool for avoidance of conflict of interests within protected areas. General Assembly of lUCN at Banff in 1972 it was agreed by CNPPA that sites

designated as national parks should include areas here designated as "strict natural zones", "managed natural zones", and "wilderness zones", and that they could in addition appropriately
contain areas of the kind here designated as "protected anthropological zones", or "protected
historical" or "archaeological zones".

However, national parks must be available for public visitation. This use, it was agreed, could be combined with the primary function of nature conservation through a system of zoning. In this, one zone would be established in which roads or other access ways may be constructed, buildings or other structures to accommodate tourism and park administrative functions may be located, and in which appropriate recreational facilities may be placed. This special tourism/ administrative zone would not be one designated primarily for nature conservation, but would be so delimited and located as to create minimum interference with the nature conservation function of the park. National parks can also satisfy the public visitation function by
establishment of wilderness areas over
all

or part of the national park, thus providing for limited

tourism of a special kind.

To

qualify as a national park in the

sense therefore, an area

may

consist of various

combinations of zones as follows:

Wilderness zone only. Wilderness zone combined with strict natural zone, managed natural zone or both. Any or aU of the above zones combined with a tourist/administrative zone.

Any

or

all

of the above zones combined with one or more zones classified as

Category IV (Nature Conservation Reserve/Managed Nature


Reserve/Wildlife Sanctuary)

A Category IV area is desirable when protection of specific sites or habitats is essential to the continued well-being of resident or migratory fauna of national or global significance. Although a variety of areas faU within this category, each would have as its primary purpose the protection
of nature; the production of harvestable, renewable resources may play a secondary role in the management of a particular area. The size of the area is dependent upon the habitat requirements of the species
to be protected; these areas could be relatively small, consisting of nesting areas, marshes, or lakes, estuaries, forest, or grassland habitats, or fish spawning areas, or seagrass

feeding beds for marine mammals.

The area may

require habitat manipulation to provide

Category VI (Resource Reserve - Interim Conservation Unit)


Category VI areas will normally comprise an extensive and relatively isolated and uninhabited area having difficult access, or regions that are lightly populated yet may be under considerable pressure for colonisation and greater utilisation. In many cases, there has been little study or
evaluation of these areas, so the consequences of converting these areas to agriculture, mineral or timber extraction, the construction of roads, or intensive fishing, dredging or mariculture is unclear. Similarly, use of the resources may not be appropriate because of the lack of technology,

human or financial resource restrictions, or alternative national priorities. Consequently, natural, social, and economic values are not sufficiently identified to permit the area to be managed for
specific objectives or to justify

Category VII (Natural Biotic Area/Anthropological Reserve)


Category VII areas are characterised by natural areas where the influence or technology of modem man has not significantly interfered with or been absorbed by the traditional ways of life of the inhabitants. These areas may be remote and isolated and their inaccessibility may be
maintained for a considerable period of time. The societies are of particular significance to the maintenance of cultural diversity; there is a strong dependence of man upon the natural

given specific additional protection. For instance, the establishment of wUdemess-type areas

would be establishing nature reserves. Multiple use, in the context of Category Vni, is considered to be the management of all renewable resources, utilised in some combination to best meet the needs of the country. The major premise in the management of these areas is that they will be managed to maintain the overall productivity of the areas and their resources in perpetuity.

ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION
All of the information provided in this UN List is stored within a computer database, and a wide range of other information is held about each site (and about many other sites not covered here). Some of this information will be analysed in publications by staff and others. As an indication of this analytic capability, two graphs and two tables have been included within the

WCMC

UN List.

as habitat type; a protected

humid forest biome may not necessarily contain tropical humid forest, and an area containing tropical humid forest could occur in another biome altogether (such as mixed island systems). Note in this regard that Udvardy identifies all of Indonesia, insular Malaysia and the Philippines as mixed island systems rather than tropical humid forest. Also, as was noted

above for provinces, it is important to realise that there are significant differences between the areas covered by different biome types. For example, in the Neotropics there are extensive areas covered by the tropical humid forest biome (about a quarter of the continent), but only a small area covered by the lake systems biome (Lake Titicaca on the Peru/Bolivia border).

ANALYSE DE L'INFORMATION
Toute rinformation donnee dans laListe des Nations Unies est stockde dans une base de donnees informatisee et nous detenons beaucoup d'autres infonnations sur chaque site (et sur beaucoup d'autres sites ne figurant pas dans la Liste). Une partie de cette information sera analysee dans
des publications, par le personnel du CMSC, entre autres. Deux graphiques et deux tableaux presentant cette capacite analytique ont et6 inclus dans la Liste des Nations Unies.

Biogeographie

Comme dans les trois editions precedentes de la Liste, chacune des aires a ete replacee dans une
des provinces biogeographiques definies par Udvardy (1975), meme si la province en question n'est pas reellement identifiee dans cette Liste. Le reseau mondial de provinces

biogeographiques defmi par Udvardy pour I'UICN divise le monde en huit domaines, subdivises en 193 provinces, chacune etant caracteris6e par un des 14 types de biomes. Cette information est utilisee pour donner une analyse brute de la couverture par province et par type de biome.

WORLD HERITAGE SITES/BIENS DU PATRIMOINE MONDIAL


The Convention Concerning
the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted in Paris in 1972, and came into force in December 1975. The Convention provides for

the designation of areas of "outstanding universal value" as world heritage sites, with the
principal

aim of fostering international cooperation in safeguarding these important areas. Sites, which must be nominated by the signatory nation responsible, are evaluated for their world heritage quality before being declared by the World Heritage Committee. Only natural sites are
considered here.
Article

2 of the World Heritage Convention considers

as natural heritage: natural features

consisting of physical and biological formations or groups of such formations, which are of

outstanding universal value from the aesthetic or scientific point of view; geological or
physiographical formations and precisely delineated areas which constitute the habitat of
threatened species of animals and plants of outstanding universal value from the point of view

of science or conservation; and natural


the are published

sites

or precisely delineated areas of outstanding universal

value from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty. Criteria for inclusion in
list

by Unesco.

BIOSPHERE RESERVES/RESERVES DE LA BIOSPHERE


reserves is not covered by a specific convention, but is part of an international scientific programme, the Unesco Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. The objectives of the network of biosphere reserves, and the characteristics which biosphere

The establishment of biosphere

reserves might display, are identified in various

Unesco-MAB documents,

including the Action

Plan for Biosphere Reserves published in 1984.

Biosphere Reserves differ firom the preceding types of site in that they are not exclusively designated to protect unique areas or important wetlands, but for a range of objectives

which include research, monitoring, training and demonstration, as well as conservation roles. In most cases the human component is vital to the functioning of the biosphere reserve, which does not necessarily hold for either World Heritage or Ramsar sites. A further fundamental difference is the stated aim of developing a biosphere reserve netwc-k
representative of the world's ecosystems.

The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat was signed in Ramsar (Iran) in 1971, and came into force in December 1975. This Convention provides a framework for international cooperation for the conservation of wetiand habitats. It places general obligations on contracting party states relating to the conservation of wetiands
throughout their
territories,

with special obligations pertaining to those wetiands which have

been designated to the List of Wetiands of International Importance.

Each

State Party

is

obliged to

list at

least

one

site.

Wetiands are defined by the convention

as:

areas of marsh, fen, peatiand or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, witii

water that of which

is static

or flowing, fresh, brackish or

salt,

including areas of marine waters, the depth
