A World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) é a meirande base de datos do mundo sobre as áreas protexidas mariñas e terrestres, que contaba con máis de 260 000 áreas protexidas en agosto de 2020, con rexistros que abranguen 245 países e territorios de todo o mundo.[1] A WDPA é unha colaboración entre o Centro de Monitoreo da Conservación do Ambiente, a Unión Internacional para a Conservación da Natureza e a Comisión Mundial de Áreas Protexidas.

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.[2] In October 2010, UNEP-WCMC launched the social media-based website Protected Planet, which allows users to interact with and improve the data that is currently recorded on the World Database on Protected Areas.[3]
