Protected areas are the single most important conservation tool. The global protected-area network has grown substantially in recent decades, now occupying 11.5% of Earth's land surface, but such growth has not been strategically aimed at maximizing the coverage of global biodiversity. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the global network is far from complete, even for the representation of terrestrial vertebrate species. Here we present a first attempt to provide a global framework for the next step of strategically expanding the network to cover mammals, amphibians, freshwater turtles and tortoises, and globally threatened birds. We identify unprotected areas of the world that have remarkably high conservation value (irreplaceability) and are under serious threat. These areas concentrate overwhelmingly in tropical and subtropical moist forests, particularly on tropical mountains and islands. The expansion of the global protected-area network in these regions is urgently needed to prevent the loss of unique biodiversity. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Coverage Provided by the Global Protected-Area System: Is It Enough?

Protected-area targets of 10% of a biome, of a country, or of the planet have often been used in conservation planning. The new World Database on Protected Areas shows that terrestrial protected-area coverage now approaches 12% worldwide. Does this mean that the establishment of new protected areas can cease? This was the core question of the "Building Comprehensive Protected Area Systems" stream of the Fifth World Parks Congress in Durban, South Africa, in 2003. To answer it requires global gap analysis, the subject of the special section of BioScience for which this article serves as an introduction. We also provide an overview of the extraordinary data sets now available to allow global gap analysis and, based on these, an assessment of the degree to which existing protected-area systems represent biodiversity. Coverage varies geographically, but is less than 2% for some bioregions, and more than 12% of 11,633 bird, mammal, amphibian, and turtle species are wholly unrepresented. The global protected-area systems are far from complete. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Key Biodiversity Areas as Site Conservation Targets

Site conservation is among the most effective means to reduce global biodiversity loss. Therefore, it is critical to identify those sites where unique biodiversity must be conserved immediately. To this end, the concept of key biodiversity areas (KBAs) has been developed, seeking to identify and, ultimately, ensure that networks of globally important sites are safeguarded. This methodology builds up from the identification of species conservation targets (through the IUCN Red List) and nests within larger-scale conservation approaches. Sites are selected using standardized, globally applicable, threshold-based criteria, driven by the distribution and population of species that require site-level conservation. The criteria address the two key issues for setting site conservation priorities: vulnerability and irreplaceability. We also propose quantitative thresholds for the identification of KBAs meeting each criterion, based on a review of existing approaches and ecological theory to date. However, these thresholds require extensive testing, especially in aquatic systems. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

AB: Abstract
As well as being one of the most densely populated areas on Earth,
Hong Kong also has the highest percentage of protected areas (38% of
the 1098 km super(2) land area) of any administrative region in the
Asia Pacific. Overlay of field records from a biodiversity survey of
eight taxa (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, breeding birds, ants,
butterflies, dragonflies and rare vascular plants) in 1 km grid
squares with protected areas indicated that over half of the 623
species of conservation concern (globally, regionally, or locally
restricted species) were under-represented. Ants, butterflies and
reptiles were most poorly represented. The hotspots of different taxa
also received differing levels of protection. Hong Kong's protected
areas are biased towards high-altitude habitats, so the
under-represented species are mostly associated with the lowland
habitats (freshwater wetlands, abandoned agriculture and feng shui
woods). Since the restricted species are scattered and the hotspots of
different taxa do not overlap, a large protected area network will be
required to represent all species. This indicates the challenge that
will be encountered in the conservation of many other parts of Asia
that support burgeoning human populations, and where landscapes are
increasingly human-dominated.
