Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Protected areas! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's protected areas articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 program.
The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Protected areas}} project banner. The different values cause the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Protected areas articles by quality and Category:Protected areas articles by importance.
