Protected Areas System

A Protected Areas System is a network of designated natural spaces—such as parks, reserves, and conservation areas—established by governments or organizations to preserve biodiversity, ecosystems, and cultural heritage. These areas are managed to prevent harmful activities like deforestation, development, or pollution, ensuring that plants, animals, and natural features thrive. The system aims to balance environmental conservation with sustainable human use, providing essential ecological services, recreation opportunities, and safeguarding natural heritage for current and future generations.
