CAPAD 2000

CAPAD (Collaborative Australian Protected Area Database) contains information on all protected areas in Australia, including their IUCN management categories.

The current version of CAPAD is CAPAD 2010. The data below has been superceded, but is still available for historic purposes.

Note: CAPAD99 was compiled using only CAPAD97 data for Tasmania. When September 2000 Tasmanian data became available the CAPAD99 dataset was renamed to CAPAD2000 to allow incorporation of the 2000 data. CAPAD2000 data validity lies between June 1998 and September 2000.
