Journal ArticleDOI
The biodiversity of species and their rates of extinction, distribution, and protection
Stuart L. Pimm,Clinton N. Jenkins,Robin Abell,Thomas M. Brooks,John L. Gittleman,Lucas Joppa,Peter H. Raven,Callum M. Roberts,Joseph O. Sexton +8 more
TL;DR: The biodiversity of eukaryote species and their extinction rates, distributions, and protection is reviewed, and what the future rates of species extinction will be, how well protected areas will slow extinction Rates, and how the remaining gaps in knowledge might be filled are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
High and far: biases in the location of protected areas.
Lucas Joppa,Alexander Pfaff +1 more
TL;DR: PAs are biased towards where they can least prevent land conversion (even if they offer perfect protection), and globally comprehensive results imply that siting rules such as the Convention on Biological Diversity's 2010 Target might raise PA impacts if applied at the country level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of terrestrial vertebrate diversity and conservation.
TL;DR: A snapshot of how well the planet’s protected area system encompasses vertebrate biodiversity is provided, with substantial differences between the identified vertebrate priorities and the leading map of global conservation priorities, the biodiversity hotspots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expansion of the global terrestrial protected area system.
Clinton N. Jenkins,Lucas Joppa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated progress toward meeting the goal of protecting 10% of all ecological regions by 2010 and found that only 5.8% of the world's terrestrial ecoregions have strict protection for biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the protection of "protected areas".
TL;DR: This work measures forest cover at progressively larger distances inside and outside of protected areas within these four regions, using datasets on protected areas and land-cover, and finds important geographical differences.
