Sounds like a great idea! Good thinking!

In germany we are currently working hard getting at
least a few Lists of
Protected Areas in Germany in shape for WLE until May 1st, having an
upload-link with campaign in the list. We will stuff all listentrys not
only with a local id, but also with an international WDPA-ID. I created a
WDPA-Template on commons, currently implemented here for testing

(click on the icon to the left to get to the wdpa-site)
I'd be happy about corrections and translations of the template.
Since WDPA (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Database_on_Protected_Areas) seems to
be the most complete list of protected areas this ID might help in the
future to set up a generic, international WLE campaign instead of hosting
several local campaigns for WLE. The WDPA-Data is far from beeing complete
or completely accurate, but at least in europe there seems to be an almost
complete 1:1-match of WDPA-IDs and Protected Areas, making WDPA a perfect
source for a globally usable ID.
