Metadata: National Parks Boundary – Saudi Arabia (2025)

This dataset delineates the geographic boundaries of all officially recognized national parks across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as of 2025. It provides spatial geometry and attribute information for each park, allowing for area-based analysis and conservation planning. The National Parks dataset consists of polygon features representing protected natural areas designated as national parks throughout Saudi Arabia. The spatial data is projected in WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid 2.0 Global (EPSG:6933) to ensure accurate area preservation across the country, which spans multiple UTM zones (36N–39N).This dataset is intended for use in environmental conservation planning, forest management, biodiversity monitoring, and ecological zoning. Each park polygon includes attributes such as name (in Arabic), unique ID, calculated area (in hectares), perimeter, and geometric length.Spatial Reference System:Projection: Cylindrical Equal-AreaEPSG Code: 6933Datum: WGS 84Purpose of projection: Area-preserving across multiple zones in a large country
