| | 1993 United Nations List of National Parks and Protected Areas |
 | | While the vast majority of the national parks which meet the relevant criteria are listed, information on the other categories of protected area is still incomplete, and much more information is necessary before we can be confident we are providing complete lists of areas in every management category. |
 | | UN List was compiled, there have been meetings in Australia, China, Sweden, Dominican Republic, Italy (for the North Africa/Middle East region), and the IV World Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas held in Venezuela also brought together over 1,800 people from all over the world. |
 | | IUCN's Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas (CNPPA) is the leading international scientific and technical body concerned with the selection, establishment and management of national parks and other protected areas. |
