Andorra Protected and Conserved Areas: Official WDPCA Boundaries

Andorra's terrestrial and marine protected areas are documented in this geospatial dataset maintained by the UNEP-WCMC and IUCN. Updated monthly, the records integrate the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and the World Database on Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (WD-OECM) as of March 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping terrestrial conservation boundaries in Andorra using GeoJSON or GeoPackage spatial layers
• Calculating the percentage of land area under protection to report on Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
• Identifying biodiversity risks within project boundaries by overlaying WDPCA conservation polygons with site locations

Strengths

• Official joint product of the UN Environment Programme and IUCN
• Updated on a monthly basis to ensure temporal accuracy
• Available in four formats including GeoJSON, GeoPackage, and CSV

Limitations

• Specific record count for the Andorra subset is not specified in the metadata
• Relies on reporting from national governments which may result in reporting lags
