Protected Areas Version Tracker

The evolution of the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is a crucial aspect that requires consistent monitoring and improvement. To address this, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a specialized tool known as the WDPA Version Tracker. This tool plays a pivotal role in measuring and highlighting the progress of WDPA over time.

By leveraging and maintaining every month the WDPA Version Tracker, we can effectively track the changes and advancements in the WDPA dataset. This tool enables us to measure the progress made in updating and refining the data, ensuring that the WDPA remains a valuable resource for monitoring and managing protected areas
