National parks and other protected areas often fail to conserve Earth’s forests, research finds
The destruction of nature is a global crisis. Establishing protected areas of forest is a common policy governments use to tackle the problem.Indeed most countries, including Australia, have signed a global agreement to protect 30% of land by 2030. But to what extent do protected areas, such as national parks and nature reserves, actually preserve forests?
My new research examined this question. The findings are the first global-scale estimate of where protected areas are succeeding and failing.
Alarmingly, I found protected areas fail to prevent forest loss in many parts of the world. Clearly, we must make these areas more effective to conserve the remaining diversity of Earth’s plants and animals.
