IUCN category ii

National Park
Ecosystem protection7 parks
IUCN Category II is one of the most widely recognized protected-area categories in the world because it brings together strong ecosystem protection and public-facing values. A National Park is meant to conserve large-scale ecological processes and representative species and ecosystems, but it is also expected to support compatible spiritual, scientific, educational, recreational, and visitor opportunities. This makes Category II especially important for countries that want protected areas to function both as core conservation landscapes and as places where people can meaningfully experience nature without undermining long-term ecological goals.

Example parks

Salonga National ParkRila National ParkPic Macaya National ParkDeux Mamelles National ParkGrand Bois National Park

Management focus

A large natural or near-natural protected area managed to safeguard ecological processes, characteristic species, and ecosystems while also supporting education, recreation, and compatible visitor use.

IUCN category iv

Habitat/Species Management Area
Targeted habitat management1 park
IUCN Category IV is built around focused ecological management. Rather than emphasizing wilderness, a singular monument, or broad public recreation, this category is used where the central task is to maintain, conserve, restore, or manage particular species, habitats, or ecological conditions. Many Category IV areas require active intervention, sometimes on an ongoing basis, because their conservation values depend on management actions such as water-level control, grazing regimes, fire management, invasive-species removal, nest-site protection, or habitat restoration. The category is especially important for places where biodiversity goals are precise, operational, and management-intensive.

Example parks

Three Bays Protected Area

Management focus

A protected area managed mainly to protect particular species or habitats, often through targeted, regular, or adaptive conservation interventions.
