What is it about?
We show that conserving 30% of land reduces extinction risk by up to 70% in the tropics, and by greater than 50% in all scenarios involving 30% land conservation and lowered climate change. The research is the result of three years of effort by an international multi-disciplinary team, with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Why is it important?
This is the first research to explicitly examine climate change extinction risk and the effect that enhanced land conservation can have in reducing that risk.
