Global relationship between terrestrial and marine protected area coverage on islands. a The islands that meet 2020 conservation targets (>17% on land and >10% on sea; Aichi targets) are colored in green; islands meeting only the target on land in orange; islands meeting only the target on sea in purple; and islands meeting none in red. The 2030 conservation target (30% coverage) is also indicated by dashed lines. Spatial coverage by protected areas is significantly correlated between terrestrial and marine areas (Pearson’s coefficient of correlation r = 0.5, two-sided p < 0.001). Proportions of islands meeting both one or none 2020 conservation target in each ocean b, and colors represent the same categories as in a.
