Fig. 5: Preventing extinction of unique threatened species reduced projected functional diversity loss.
From: Threat reduction must be coupled with targeted recovery programmes to conserve global bird diversity
Functional diversity loss avoided (as a percentage of projected functional diversity loss under the baseline scenario) from 1,000 iterations. Black points show mean loss avoided; violin plots show the distribution; grey points show individual values of loss avoided under each iteration. The number of unique threatened species that were prevented from going extinct (‘protected’) varied between 40 and 200 unique threatened species at intervals of 20 species.
