How to read this table
The status of a territory determines whether it is under federal or regional management, as reflected in the corresponding rows of the table. Comparing these indicators helps to understand the share of protected areas under the direct control of central authorities versus those managed at the regional level. The total number of protected areas sums all categories, allowing for the tracking of annual changes in the network composition from 2021 to 2023 inclusive
