Field notes
The reference combines a 2013–2025 world series with country-level rankings by both percentage and total protected area. Its definitions specify that terrestrial and inland-water areas come from the World Database on Protected Areas, while marine areas are excluded. The page calculates square kilometres from protected share and land area, and identifies Seychelles as the highest-share economy and Brazil as the largest by protected area.
