Explanation:

These are nationally identified sites of global significance. KBAs are mapped by national conservation organizations using consistent global criteria.
There is no maximum or minimum size of sites, because appropriate size varies according to the socio-economic criteria, such as land use and tenure.
Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs); Important Plant Areas (IPAs); Important Sites for Freshwater Biodiversity; Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites are key parts of KBAs.
It is supported by IUCN, BirdLife International, Plantlife International, Conservation International, Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund.
