How to read this table
Row distinctions allow for a comparison of the scale of nature conservation across different levels of government and the identification of specific sites. Columns reflect the actual number of areas for the year and information on new SPNAs established during the reporting period. For new sites, the total area at year-end is specified in hectares. This helps show what portion of protected lands was established or protected during the current year
