Talk:World Commission on Protected Areas

Some Notes for a Proposed History

• 1969: General Assmebly of the IUCN defines the term 'Naional Park'

• 1973: IUCN publishes a preliminary categories system fo National Parks, based largely on the pioneering work of Dr Ray Dassman.

• 1978 IUCN published the Commission for National Parks and Protected Areas report on Categories, Objectives and Criteria

for Protected Areas, which was prepared by the CNPPA Committee on Criteria and Nomenclature chaired by Dr Kenton Miller. This proposed these ten categories):

IV Nature Conservation Reserve/Managed Nature Reserve/Wildlife Sanctuary

V Protected Landscape

VI Resource Reserve

VII Natural Biotic Area/Anthropological Reserve
