Coverage trend 1938–2011
From each site's year of current legal status, available for 83.3% of sites. Sums site areas, so overlapping designations count more than once. The terrestrial curve therefore ends slightly above the 10.8% reported today. Each line is a share of its own realm's area, so the two share an axis but not a denominator.
