Taking the opportunity of reviewing all protected areas in Madagascar,
I'm also thinking about areas tagging.
In Madagascar, the generic sentence is Aires Protégées (protected
areas). At national level, one can find:
- Réserve Naturelle Intégrale (strict nature reserve): no access out of
scientific investigations
- Parc National (national park): touristic access. No population settled
inside, no agriculture, no wood cut. Usually no road and no motor
vehicle inside.
- Réserve Spéciale (special reserve): similar to Parc National but may
be more devoted to a specific conservation target.
Considering the wiki :
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area
boundary = protected_area
protect_class = 1 for Réserve Stricte
protect_class = 2 for Parc National
protect_class = 3 for Réserve Spéciale
I see that some people are also using
leisure = nature_reserve
landuse = conservation
For Madagascar, in the shape file, I find an attribute IUCN with values:
Ia
II
II/VI
IV
VI
(blank)
What's to do with that?
What's for protected areas considered as world heritage by UNESCO?
