Worldwide National Park Stats, National Parks Guy, Full List of National Parks Worldwide

Welcome, 

To give us some idea of the impact National Parks make on our planet we thought it would be worth calculating the land protected for conservation purposes.

As we try to protect our lands and wildlife from unscrupulous behaviour and save the biodiversity we have left, National Parks are leading the way in some countries of what that model ought to look like.

Below you’ll find a tally of the National Parks of the world. This list will continue to evolve as more information is sought out, recieved and of course included in various registers around the globe. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. As I complete a country I will update the results with an updated date.

Feel free to contact me either through social media at the top or by using my email address, [email protected] and share with me your stories, photos and videos and make this a better, greener world together.
