IUCN Protected Area Categories
IUCN protected area categories, or IUCN protected area management categories, are categories used to classify protected areas in a system developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The enlisting of such areas is part of a strategy being used toward the conservation of the world's natural environment and biodiversity. The IUCN has developed the protected area management categories system to define, record and classify the wide variety of specific aims and concerns when categorising protected areas and their objectives. This categorisation method is recognised on a global scale by national governments and international bodies such as the United Nations and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Categories Category Ia – strict nature reserve A strict nature reserve (IUCN Category Ia) is an area which is protected from all but light human use in order to protect its biodiversity and also possibly its geological/geomorphical features.

Protected Planet
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the largest assembly of data on the world's terrestrial and marine protected areas, containing more than 260,000 protected areas as of August 2020, with records covering 245 countries and territories throughout the world. The WDPA is a joint venture between the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring CentreUNEP-WCMC and the International Union for Conservation of NatureIUCN World Commission on Protected AreasWCPA. Data for the WDPA is collected from international convention secretariats, governments and collaborating NGOs, but the role of custodian is allocated to the Protected Areas Programme of UNEP-WCMC, based in Cambridge, UK, who have hosted the database since its creation in 1981. The WDPA delivers invaluable information to decision-makers around the world, particularly in terms of measuring the extent and effectiveness of protected areas as an indicator for meeting global biodiversity targets.

Il-Ballut Ta' Marsaxlokk
Il-Ballut ta' Marsaxlokk is a protected area in Marsaxlokk, Malta, which forms part of the Natura 2000 network. The protected area (circa 23 ha.) features a salt marsh (circa 1haIl-Ballut Nature Reserve, Marsaxlokk Management Plan for the years 2006-2010) which is currently managed by Nature Trust Malta. History The salt marsh known by locals as 'Il-Kanal' or 'Ir-Riserva' was previously used a hunting ground. In the 1980’s the area received the attention of the then Society for the Study and Conservation of Nature (SSCN) (now part of Nature Trust Malta). The site was undergoing constant and severe degradation, especially due to the dumping of rubble from the construction of the Delimara Powerstation at Ras ic-Cagħaq. More dumping took place during 1999 when mounds of sand, soil and rubble were placed just outside the reserve in what seems to have been an attempt at beach replenishment. Later the site was awarded environmental protection but only started to be officially m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nature Conservation In Malta
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the physical world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena. The word ''nature'' is borrowed from the Old French ''nature'' and is derived from the Latin word ''natura'', or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth". In ancient philosophy, ''natura'' is mostly used as the Latin translation of the Greek word ''physis'' (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics of plants, animals, and other features of the world to develop of their own accord. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socr ...
