Fig. 1: Carnivore population trends by sampling unit.
From: Assessing the effectiveness of a national protected area network for carnivore conservation
Maps showing (i) the location of Finland in the world (top left); (ii) the extent of forest cover at the national scale (lower left); and (iii) all monitored units integrated in the Finnish Wildlife Triangle Scheme (right), showing the percent of positive population trends between 1989 and 2017 depending on the number of large carnivore species detected at each site and their population trends at the respective sites (e.g., 1 species with positive trends and 2 species with negative trends: 33%). Colored circles represent monitored sampling units. Circle size represents the number of carnivore species detected while circle color represents the percent of positive population trends per unit. Game management areas are separated by dashed lines (Southern Finland; Central Finland; Northern Finland and Lapland) and gray areas represent the Finnish protected area network.
