National Parks and Aquatical, Biodiversity and Ecological Reserves of Quebec
In Quebec, provincial parks are called "national parks", and are managed by the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec, also known as Sépaq. The ecological reserves, the biodiversity reserves and the aquatical reserves are managed by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs (Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks) of Québec.
Quebec also administers these Wildlife Reserves, but they are not considered protected areas by World Conservation Union standards.
