Please note a server upgrade has introduced unexpected bugs to the website. Please accept our sincere apologies if this has caused any problems for you. In the meantime, you can check out a new protected area portal we are developing to take the place of WDPA.org for viewing, querying and downloading protected areas data. It is protectedplanet.net. While you won’t be able to download data from protecteplanet just yet, we think you’ll really like the improvements we are making. We hope to have everything back up and running shortly.

If you need to download our annual releases, they can be found here:

• Annual Release (polygon)
