Data sources and methods : protected areas indicators.: En4-144/11-2011E-PDF
"CESI reports the protected areas indicators as a measure of human response to the loss of biodiversity and natural habitat. As the amount of protected area in Canada increases, more natural landscapes are withdrawn from direct human development stresses, thereby preserving ecosystem services and contributing to biodiversity conservation. While the results can be linked to International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) standards for management goals, the degree to which the areas are ecologically intact and protected from the combined impact of human activities is not known. The Canadian Council on Ecological Areas (CCEA) compiles information on protected areas in Canada to support national and international reporting"--Introduction, p. 1.
