Fig. 5: The global pattern of protected area (PA) coverage rate under the existing conditions and the three scenarios.
From: Global conservation priorities for wetlands and setting post-2025 targets
Countries and regions were grouped into five classes (Class 1: < 8%, Class 2: 8–12%, Class 3: 12–17%, Class 4: 17–20%, Class 5: > 20%) according to the range of PA coverage rate under the three targets. The darker the color, the higher the PA coverage rate in one country. A represents the rate of existing PA coverage, B is the rate of PA coverage under the Conservative target scenario, C indicates the rate of PA coverage under the Moderate target scenario, and D denotes the rate of PA coverage under the Ambitious-target scenario.
