List of national parks in the Netherlands
In the 1960s, national parks in the Netherlands were defined as areas of at least 10 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi) consisting of natural terrains, water and/or forests, with a special landscape and flora and fauna.[citation needed]
The first two national parks were founded in the 1930s by private organisations. The first official national park, Schiermonnikoog National Park, was not established until 1989. The most recent national park to have been established is the Nieuw Land National Park, which was established in 2018.
In 2011, the government decided to make the provinces responsible for the national parks.
As of 2021, there are 21 national parks.
