Fig. 4: Protection of amphibian, bird, mammal and reptile dryland species (≥50% global range in drylands) according to representation targets.
From: Global evaluation of current and future threats to drylands and their vertebrate biodiversity
Narrow-ranging species = <1,000 km2; intermediate = 1,000–250,000 km2; widespread = >250,000 km2. The protection target for narrow-ranging species is 100% of range size, whereas the protection target for intermediate and widespread species is 10–100% of range size. Scale shows proportion of species with range size protection (IUCN categories I–IV): orange, 0%; blue, 0–10%; green, 10–100%; dark green, 100% range protection. Percentage values above the bar plots are the fraction of each taxon’s protection target covered in protected areas.
