This template can be used to generate an infobox for a protected area. It is part of the Protected areas WikiProject. Usage[edit source]These selected parameters can be used to form a completely functional Infobox and the extra parameters listed below can also be added. This markup can be pasted into a new article. See below for working examples. {{Infobox protected area

Parameter descriptions[edit source]This table describes all parameters which can be used in building infoboxes. Only the
IUCN Categories[edit source]Depending on the value of the
Coordinate syntax[edit source]See Template:Infobox map/coordinate syntax. Alternate parameters[edit source]A few cells allow alternate parameter names which can be used to generate an appropriate label. Editors should probably not be overly concerned with using the correct label unless using the wrong label would be a blatant error. Protected areas are often created as the result of a governmental procedure. For example, in the United States, national parks are established by an act of congress, National Monuments are usually created by presidential proclamation, and wilderness areas are designated by an act of congress. National Park Service Affiliated Areas are authorized.
Some areas are privately owned, and it might be inappropriate to use the label Governing body. For example, the Aleutian World War II National Historic Area is affiliated with the National Park Service but is owned by the Ounalashka Corporation. Chimney Rock National Historic Site is operated by Nebraska State Historical Society.
