Answers to the most common questions about this tool
The tool analyzes the network of protected areas surrounding any location. It calculates a Protection Index (inner, outer, overall), coverage percentage, distance bands distribution across 5 ranges, identifies the nearest protected area, displays an interactive map, and provides geographic context with distances to key landmarks.
The Protection Index has three components: inner index (protection within the immediate site area), outer index (protection in the surrounding region), and overall index (combined score). Higher values indicate stronger nature protection coverage around your location.
Protected areas are grouped into 5 distance ranges from your location: 0–5 km, 5–10 km, 10–25 km, 25–35 km, and beyond 35 km. The chart shows how many protected areas fall within each band, helping you understand the spatial distribution of nearby nature protection.
The Coverage Gauge shows the percentage of land covered by protected areas in the vicinity of your location, along with the total count of nearby protected areas. It gives a quick visual indicator of how well the surrounding territory is protected.
The Geographic Context section lists key landmarks and reference points with their distance from your location. This includes features like cities, mountain ranges, coastlines, and other geographic reference points that help contextualize the location.

Each protected areas analysis costs 1 credit. On signup you receive 10 free credits with no credit card required. Additional credit packages start from €19.90.
The analysis uses official protected areas databases including UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Natura 2000 network zones, and national/regional protected areas registries. Distance calculations are computed from the precise coordinates of your selected location.
