World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) | India 2010

WDPA | India - 2010 [web archive]^*

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is a joint project between UN Environment and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), managed by UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre. Data for the WDPA is collected from international convention secretariats, governments, and collaborating NGOs. The WDPA uses the IUCN definition of a protected area as the main criteria for entries included in the database.

Data in this notebook are from a 2010 version of the WDPA that I discovered on an obscure corner^* of the Internet. Please note that official data shared today will differ significantly.
