1In the table small protected areas located within large protected areas were not included in order to eliminate the double counting of one area (it pertained to approx. 1% of legally protected areas).
20.65% of the size of small-protected areas in the Czech Republic is in large protected areas.
31.73% of the size of small-protected areas in Slovakia (Nature Reserves, National Nature Reserves, Nature Monuments, and National Nature Monuments) is located in large protected areas (National Parks or Protected Landscape Areas).
