Predicted protected area downsizing impedes conservation progress across terrestrial ecoregions in the tropics and subtropics
Abstract Protected areas remain a key tool in the fight against biodiversity loss and have expanded rapidly in recent decades. However, protected areas are also increasingly experiencing downsizing events that reduce the total amount of area legally under protection. Here we explore how future predi...
