Hi Sam, Here is a tagging scheme that may match one the themes that includes protected areas, such as for national-parks, water protection areas or indigenous areas or etc.:

Whats interesting is to compare these features with the Natural Resources Canada CanVec dataset (which is also at 250k scale). There are many similarities (some differnces) in the datasets. I am developing a Universal tagging Schema (I call 'SchemaTroll 2.01') where it can look at the map features from Datasets around the world (including the Garmin defaults) and cross-reference it with the 'free-tagging system' of OpenStreetMap. So i am wondering if anyone has aldready examined these 159 features and selected an appropriate estimated equivelent to OpenStreetMap tags.
