<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Canadian Protected and Conserved Areas Database (CPCAD) is the authoritative source of data on protected and conserved areas in Canada. The database consists of the most up-to-date spatial and attribute data on marine and terrestrial protected areas in all governance categories recognized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), as well as Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs, or conserved areas) across the country. Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) are also included if they are recognized as protected or conserved areas. CPCAD adheres to national reporting standards and is freely available to the public.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>CPCAD is compiled and managed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), in collaboration with federal, provincial, territorial, and other reporting authorities that provide the data. The database contains combined data from all these Canadian reporting authorities, who have determined that their areas meet the Canadian criteria as protected or conserved areas. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>CPCAD is used by a wide range of organizations, including governments, environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), academia, land managers, industry, and the general public. CPCAD supports many of the Government of Canada’s priorities including Canada’s national reporting on protected areas, Canada’s international reporting on protected areas as a result of Canada’s commitments under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, and Canada’s protected areas program by providing baseline information.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Additional resources:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>CPCAD Canada.ca website: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/national-wildlife-areas/protected-conserved-areas-database.html</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) Conserved Areas: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/environmental-indicators/conserved-areas.html </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA): https://www.protectedplanet.net/country/CAN</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
