About these parks

National parks, nature reserves and other protected areas, each linked to the species documented in it. A park profile gives its location, protection status and ecosystems and the wildlife recorded there, so you can choose a destination by the animals you want to see, or go from an animal to the parks where it lives. Where each piece of data comes from is explained in how we build our profiles.
