How to read this table
The row structure allows for a comparison of the total number of protected sites with their distribution across management levels. Comparing federal and regional protected areas shows the proportion of territories under direct state control versus those regulated at the regional level. This data helps assess the structure of the nature conservation fund and identify which categories of territories contributed to the increase or decrease in the total number of sites between 2022 and 2024
