This page was generated on Dec 05, 2020
This analysis was generated by the OPUSInspect script, created by Brian Sperlongano. Conflation data provided by Kevin Kenney. The purpose of this analysis is to identify the IUCN Protection Category that should be tagged using the protect_class=* key for protected areas in each state in the United States. In addition, this script locates protected areas that are already tagged in OpenStreetMap and matches them by location and name with PAD-US in order to identify areas which may be incorrectly tagged with protect_class=*.
Protected areas that are not assigned an IUCN Category should still be tagged leisure=nature_reserve (which renders in Carto), but omit protect_class=*. Be aware that minor differences in naming or spelling may cause false positives or negatives; mappers should examine this table carefully.
Additionally, mappers should consult the PAD-US map-based viewer when making a determination:
As a work of the United States Federal Government, the PAD-US database is in the Public Domain and is suitable as a data source for OpenStreetMap. PAD-US is an aggregation over over 100 other data sources. Mappers should inspect PAD-US for accuracy and assume that there may be errors.
Note that:
IUCN Category | Meaning | Suggested Tagging |
Ia | IUCN Category Ia: Strict Nature Reserve | protect_class=1a |
Ib | IUCN Category Ib: Wilderness | protect_class=1b |
II | IUCN Category II: National Park | protect_class=2 |
III | IUCN Category III: Natural Monument or Feature | protect_class=3 |
IV | IUCN Category IV: Habitat/Species Management Area | protect_class=4 |
V | IUCN Category V: Protected Landscape/Seascape | protect_class=5 |
VI | IUCN Category VI: Protected Area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources | protect_class=6 |
Other | No assigned IUCN Category | |
Ia, IV, V | Multiple categories |
