IUCN category ii

National Park
Ecosystem protection36 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.
