Discover the sites on the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas!
Sites on the IUCN Green List are certified as being effectively managed and fairly governed, with long-term positive impacts on people and nature.
Every five years, they are evaluated against a set of demanding criteria defined by the IUCN Green List Standard. These criteria include the quality of protection of natural values and the effectiveness of actions against threats.
