Renaming

I have found the following list in the National park article. They are probably candidates for redirecting/renaming "Protected areas of [country]", as I already did with Australia. That way they are more inclusive and areas other than national parks can be included (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected Areas).

I disagree. National parks are a special type of protected area that should be listed separately as they are significant areas of national and even world heritage importance -- kiwiinapanic 12:09 19 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Freshwater protected areas

Although protected area networks have been developed in terrestrial and marine environments, the concept is not well developed for freshwater environments. Few scientific papers are referenced through this phrase, and national freshwater protected area programs are under-developed in all nations. Sites protected through the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands 1971 form the largest network of freshwater protected areas worldwide (www.ramsar.org) but rivers and underground freshwater ecosystems are under-represented in this system.

Please create more "Wildlife of ....." articles for all countries.

.... and kindly contribute to these new articles when you get time, and request others too.

See Wildlife of India for reference.

Thanks

We need senior administrators or people who are long in Wikipedia to help us with the templates and for other further helps. Details can be seen in its talk page. IT's urgent. We want this wkiproject to be added to the exsisting WP:IND banner. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 05:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

I think it would be nice to add a table with total size of protected areas per country, both in km² and % of countries' area. for example:

Australia | 895 280 km² | 11.5% (http://www.environment.gov.au/parks/nrs/science/locations.html)

Nicaragua | 22 421 km² | 17.3% (http://www.marena.gob.ni/areas_protegidas/estructura.htm)

If we could add columns for the different IUCN categories, it would be even better, but the data is quite hard to get. Australia's department of the environment's website is really good for that. But most countries don't provide as much detail.AtikuX (talk) 07:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Protected areas title changes

Many Protected areas articles have been recently renamed. Creators or major editors of any Protected areas of ... article may be interested in the discussion at Talk:Protected_areas_in_Tamil_Nadu#Requested_move.--Marcus (talk) 00:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Protected Areas vs. protected areas

There's some discussion at wt:PAREAS about definition of the term protected areas. I wonder if the use of the term in Wikipedia should be brought back to being about Protected Areas defined and listed by the IUCN only. This protected areas article used capitalized Protected Areas from its origination in 2002 until this Nov 2004 edit. doncram (talk) 01:24, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have no support anywhere for your changes. Simply you yourself repeating what say and other editors disagreeing with you does not justify any of our edits. IUCN does not own the term 'protected areas', which is a common enough English phrase of known and obvious meaning, not including silly statements. Hmains (talk) 01:23, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, you're simply repeating yourself. No it is not obvious what a Wikipedia article on "Protected areas" should cover. Discussing at wt:PAREAS. This note here is to point others to the discussion at wt:PAREAS. doncram (talk) 02:10, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
