The 47 official nature parks that exist today and are managed by the Madagascan ANGAP (l'Association Nationale pour la Gestion des Aires Protégées) are divided into the following categories:

  • National parks = Parc National (PN);
  • Integral Protected Areas = Réserve Naturelle Intégrale (RNI);
  • Nature reserves = Réserve Spéciale (RS);
  • Marine Protected Areas = National Marine Park
  • New categories of protected areas agreed in the Durban Initiative include reforestation areas, protected forest areas and so-called general protected areas. There are also some marine reserves.
