This is a list of protected areas of Alberta. Protected areas are managed by the Government of Canada or the Government of Alberta. The provincial government owns 60% of Alberta's landmass{{cite web|url=http://www.srd.gov.ab.ca/lands/usingpublicland/provincialgrazingreserves/introduction.aspx|author=Alberta Sustainable Resource Development|title=Provincial Grazing Reserves|access-date=2009-05-08 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080518204218/http://www.srd.gov.ab.ca/lands/usingpublicland/provincialgrazingreserves/introduction.aspx |archive-date = 18 May 2008}} but most of this has not been formally protected. The total protected area throughout Alberta including federal and provincial protected areas is approximately {{convert|90700|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}.

__TOC__

International recognition

Federally protected areas

Five National Parks of Canada (Banff, Elk Island, Jasper, Waterton Lakes and Wood Buffalo), managed by Parks Canada are located in the province. Several former national parks (such Buffalo National Park, Wawaskesy National Park, and Nemiskam National Park) formerly existed in Alberta, but were delisted in 1947.

There are several National Historic Sites of Canada in Alberta, but only two are operated by Parks Canada: Rocky Mountain House, which features an indoor interpretation centre and year-round in-person interpretation, and Frog Lake which has only outdoor interpretive panels to mark the site.

Alberta is also home to Suffield National Wildlife Area, a protected area within the military reserve at CFB Suffield.

Provincially protected areas

There are several different departments and agencies that deal with land use in Alberta, however Alberta's provincial parks are managed by Alberta Parks, which since 2022 is part of the Ministry of Forestry, Parks and Tourism{{cite web | url=https://www.alberta.ca/forestry-parks-and-tourism.aspx | title=Forestry, Parks and Tourism }} whose mandate is to protect the province's natural landscapes in Alberta, as well as the Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas. Seven categories of protection exist, provincial parks being one. These categories are:

  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Ecological reserves]
  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Wilderness areas]
  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Wildland provincial parks]
  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Provincial parks]
  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Natural areas]
  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Heritage rangelands]
  • [https://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/management-land-use/legislation-regulations/ Provincial recreation areas]

{{As of|2016}}, the province of Alberta managed 76 provincial parks, 32 wildland provincial parks, 208 provincial recreation areas, 15 ecological reserves, 3 wilderness areas, 139 natural areas and 2 heritage rangeland.{{cite web|title=Land Reference Manual|url=http://www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/library/land-reference-manual/|website=Alberta Parks|publisher=Government of Alberta|access-date=6 October 2016}} Although these areas are the responsibility of the Alberta government, private companies have been contracted to handle various aspects of the operation of many parks (e.g. maintenance and campground operation).

Approximately 60% of land in Alberta is public land owned by the Alberta government.http://www.srd.alberta.ca/lands/geographicinformation/resourcedataproductcatalogue/greenwwhiteareas.aspx {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090312072546/http://www.srd.alberta.ca/lands/geographicinformation/resourcedataproductcatalogue/greenwwhiteareas.aspx|date=12 March 2009}} For administrative purposes, the province is divided into two broad land use areas: the Green Area (forested land, almost entirely provincially owned) and the White Area (other). The Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve was created by the Forest Reserves Act of 1964.http://www.qp.gov.ab.ca/Documents/acts/F20.CFM {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040913062704/http://www.qp.gov.ab.ca/Documents/acts/F20.CFM|date=13 September 2004}} There are also 32 provincial grazing reserves located throughout Alberta. They are administered by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development. Kananaskis County is not a park but a provincially run tract of land containing several parks.
