You can make a difference to the conservation efforts of international conservation bodies: The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Together these organisations maintain a vast database where people can explore and learn about the world’s protected areas. Protected Planet is the exciting new website for this
World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA)
There are three main ways to help.
1. Rate the photos.
This is based on how beautiful they are and how well you think
they represent the protected area in which they are found.
2. Update the wikipedia articles.
If you find a protected area page without a wikipedia article,
see if you can find it in wikipedia (only the english version at
the moment). If you find one, submit it to protectedplanet.net. If
you don't find one, why not create a wikipedia page then add it to
protectedplanet.net.
3. Suggest improvements to the information.
If you find the information provided is wrong, then please
suggest an alternative. That includes everything you see in the
info box on the right of the page and the boundary. Take a look at
the video on the site to see how it's done.
