CAPAD 2008

During mid-2008 state and territory nature conservation agencies provided information on their terrestrial protected areas. This information was compiled into CAPAD 2008.

CAPAD 2008 figures include interim protected areas. These are land parcels purchased or identified to become protected areas with binding agreements. Most are properties purchased through the National Reserve System Program which have an agreement to establish a protected area and are now in the process of getting formal recognition as a protected area.

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 The data below has been superceded, but is still available for historic purposes.
