Roadless and protected areas. (a) Protected areas fall under six IUCN designations in the UK, indicated here by colour. The categories have decreasing levels of protection in the following order: Ia—Strict nature reserves; II – National park; III – Natural monument or feature; IV – Habitat/species management area; VI – Protected area with sustainable use of natural resources; V – Protected landscape/seascape. In (b), roadless patches are separated by colour into those that coincide with protected areas (green), and those that are not protected (orange). Two sections are magnified to show how protected areas may only overlap small sections of each roadless patch, or none at all. A searchable map of Fig. 3b is available at: https://qgiscloud.com/SarahRaymond/Roadless_areas_GB/.
