Indonesia Protected and Conserved Areas: Marine and Terrestrial GIS Data

Marine and terrestrial protected area boundaries for Indonesia are provided through this monthly-updated dataset managed by the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC). It integrates the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and the World Database on Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (WD-OECM) to support global biodiversity reporting.

Use Cases

• Spatial analysis of biodiversity risks within project boundaries using marine and terrestrial polygon data
• Calculating total conserved land and water area to track progress toward the 30% conservation target by 2030
• Overlaying conservation boundaries with land-use data to identify encroachment in protected zones

Strengths

• Monthly update frequency
• Available in GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, CSV, and GEOSERVICE formats
• Jointly produced by UNEP and IUCN

Limitations

• Specific attribute column names are not defined in the source metadata
• Dependency on national government reporting accuracy
