Abstract

ABSTRACT We document the development, and potential uses, of an open‐access dataset—Wallace's pARCs. This dataset currently contains ∼98,000 reports, one each for most of the terrestrial protected areas (PAs) in the World > 1km 2 in size. Each report contains a standard set of information designed to assist managers to increase the resilience of PAs to climate change. We present an example of how to apply the data for adaptation planning for Biebrza National Park, Poland.
