In this article, we assess the biodiversity conservation value, and specifically the irreplaceability in terms of species endemism, of those of the planet's ecosystems that remain intact. We find that 24 wilderness...

متن کاملConservation Planning for Biodiversity and Wilderness: A Real-World Example
Several of the most important conservation prioritization approaches select markedly different areas at global and regional scales. They are designed to maximize a certain biodiversity dimension such as coverage of species in the case of hotspots and complementarity, or composite properties of ecosystems in the case of wilderness. Most comparisons between approaches have ignored the multidimens...

متن کاملReunite International Climate Change Mitigation Efforts with Biodiversity Conservation and Wilderness Protection BY HARVEY LOCKE and BRENDAN MACKEY
For the good of the climate, the time has come for a major initiative to reunite climate change mitigation efforts with biodiversity conservation and wilderness protection. Recent scientific research has shown clearly that protecting primary ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, and peatlands (whether they be tropical, temperate, or boreal) keeps their carbon stocks intact, avoids emissions fro...
