Standard Protected Areas Infobox

Template:Infobox protected area

Basic infobox for protected areas. For copy-n-paste syntax and other how-to questions, see: Template talk:Infobox protected area.

The current version is based on discussions in October of 2005. (To see the former infobox, view the "history" of this page, and select the October 14, 2005 edit.) It can readily be used for national parks and other sites, such as national forests, national historical parks, state parks, et cetera. The base map for the United States (image:US Locator Blank.svg) is shown. There is also a base map for Australia (image:Australia Locator Map.svg. Different base maps, in the same style as the one shown, are being developed for some other places around the world.

The color of the IUCN field changes based on the category:

IUCN Category bgcolor
Ia Strict Nature Reserve #E7AF97
Ib Wilderness Area #DACAA5
II National Park #CDE5B2
III Natural Monument #BFFFBF
IV Habitat/Species Management Area #B2E5CD
V Protected Landscape/Seascape #A5CADA
VI Managed Resource Protected Area #A8BDEC

Australia national parks

Template:Infobox protected area of Australia 

 | area = 8.4 km²
 | established = 1891
 | visitation_num = 12,345
 | visitation_year = 2005
 | managing_authorities = Department for Environment and Heritage
 | official_site = Belair National Park

}}

Sample infobox for use in Australian national park articles. A few fields have been changed from the original Template:Infobox protected area. Font size has been reduced to make the table look the same in IE and Firefox. See Template talk:Infobox protected area of Australia.

South African protected areas

Template:Infobox protected area Sample infobox for South African protected areas. The current map is a PNG format and can be interchanged for a svg map at a later date if needed. The PNG format map is slightly larger than the svg version, but not overwhelming and is color coded in a similar style as the map for the U.S. and Australia. (The coordinates, area, establishment date, and visitation for this infobox are accurate for Kruger National Park, but the wording of the location and governing body may be in need of adjustments.) The infobox can be expanded or reduced in the amount of information displayed

[edit]

State park infobox

Template:Infobox protected area Template:Infobox protected area You can use the standard infobox, but at the present time there is no library of blank state locator images. The image is optional, though, as is the IUCN category. See the two examples to the right.
