COMMENTARY     

Sarah HARVEY (arizona)
19th November 2006
The units are in number of areas protected. For example if a country has the number 0 after it, it means that that country has no areas protected. If it has a 1 after it, it means that it has one area protected regardless of the area being protected's size.
