From: Conservation priority corridors enhance the effectiveness of protected area networks in China
aâc Existing protected area (PA) networks and cost-effective connectivity corridors (CCCs) based on 10âkm, 30âkm, and 100âkm wildlife dispersal distances. The darkness of green color gradient in the corridor priority area map indicates the number of potential corridors, with values normalized to a range of 0â1 to indicate the corridor importance. d The entire nature conservation networks in China. Dark green represents the 30% coverage target achieved by the current and candidate PAs. Light green represents the informally conservation priority corridors (CPCs). Together with the future PA network, they achieve the 50% coverage target.
