We are also very pleased to share that we now have* lists of protected
areas for 192 countries *which allows more countries to take part in Wiki
Loves Earth! The lists are collated by the United Nations Environment
Programme through their Protected Planet project. Our collegues
from Wikimedia Sweden have provided a table with lists of sites for each
country and instructions on how to download them here
