Some areas are managed as wilderness , while others are operated with acceptable commercial exploitation . As of 2022 , the 42,826 protected areas covered 1,235,486 km (477,024 sq mi), or 13 percent of the land area of the United States . This is also one-tenth of the protected land area of the world. The U.S. also had a total of 871 National Marine Protected Areas , covering an additional 1,240,000 sq mi (3,200,000 km ), or 26 percent of the total marine area of the United States.

Protected areas of the United States Federal protected areas include lands and waters owned outright ("Fee ownerships"), as well as areas that are secured by easements, leases, etc. In addition to ownership-defined areas, there are numerous overlaying policy designations that apply management protections and use conditions on all or some of individual protected areas (e.g., Wilderness Areas, National Monuments, etc.).

252-647: The Level I and II lands in the world. These lands had a total area of 210,000 sq mi (540,000 km ). Because U.S. federal protected areas include both ownership based names, and names related to overlaying policy designations, the naming system for U.S. protected areas results in some types being used by more than one agency. For instance, both the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service manage areas designated National Preserves and National Recreation Areas . The National Park Service,

There are existing federal designations of historic or landmark status that may support preservation via tax incentives, but that do not necessarily convey any protection, including
