Achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Goals for Plant Conservation

摘要: Identifying which areas capture how many species is the first question in conservation planning. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aspires to formal protection of at least 17% terrestrial world and, through Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, 60% plant species. Are these targets protecting area and compatible? We show that 67% live entirely within regions comprise land surface. Moreover, include most vertebrates with small geographical ranges. However, connections between CBD are complex. Achieving both will be difficult because have only slightly more protected than do those fewer.
