Description

Infosheets for protected area expansion

This repository contains 2-page infosheets summarizing some of the key findings from the NaturaConnect pan-European prioritization work. There we identify the opportunities and benefits of expansions of strict and conventional protection. The expansion priority maps are part of a comprehensive systhematic conservation planning application at pan-European scale (see Deliverable 7.1 for broad methodological details).

Different info sheets are produced for each country and biogeographic region. Shown are the consensus predictions (across variants in the NaturaConnect project) as well as a performance evaluation based on set of key specified indicators (including biodiversity, connectivity and other benefits and risks). A full description of the indicator calculations and evaluation is pending (Brumm et al., In prep).


Technical info (English)
