Description: EN:The Canadian Protected and Conserved Areas Database (CPCAD) contains the most up-to-date spatial and attribute data on marine and terrestrial protected and other conserved areas in Canada. It is compiled and managed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), in collaboration with federal, provincial and territorial jurisdictions. It contains combined data from all these Canadian jurisdictions. The CPCAD data providers are jurisdictions at the federal, provincial and territorial level that have mechanisms in place to control access and activities on terrestrial or marine areas, in order to protect various elements of biodiversity. It is used by a wide range of organizations, including governments, ENGOs, academia, land managers, industry, and the public. CPCAD supports many uses including Canada’s national reporting on protected areas, Canada’s international reporting on protected areas as a result of Canada’s commitments under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, and Canada’s protected areas program by providing baseline information.
FR:La Base de données canadienne sur les aires protégées et de conservation (BDCAPC) contient les données spatiales et les données d’attributs les plus actuelles sur les aires protégées et les autres aires de conservation marines et terrestres du Canada. Elle est compilée et gérée par Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC), en collaboration avec les instances fédérales, provinciales et territoriales. Il s’agit d’une source unique pour toutes les données sur les aires protégées provenant des instantes canadiennes. Les fournisseurs de données de la BDCAPC sont des administrations fédérales, provinciales et territoriales qui ont mis en place des mécanismes qui leur permettent de contrôler l’accès aux aires terrestres ou marines et les activités qui s’y déroulent afin de protéger divers éléments de la biodiversité. Elle est utilisée par un large éventail d’organisations, incluant les gouvernements, les organisations non gouvernementales à caractère environnemental (ONGE), les gestionnaires de territoire, l’industrie et le public. La BDCAPC peut êtreutilisée de diverses façons incluant l’établissement de rapports nationaux sur les aires protégées du Canada, l’établissement de rapports internationaux sur les aires protégées par le Canada à la suite de son engagement pris sous la Convention de l’ONU sur la diversité biologique, et le programme des aires protégées du Canada en fournissant des renseignements de base.
