Funded Activity Summary

Reconciling development and conservation trade-offs from global and Australian protected area expansion. Driven by recent international commitments, the following eight years are likely to see the greatest expansion of the global protected area network in history, but underlying biases in protected area location could limit the cost-efficiency and conservation value of this expansion. To increase the transparency of decisions underlying protected area expansion, this project will develop and test spatially-explicit scenarios of expanding human influence at the global scale and the impacts on biodiversity. This information will be then be used to determine the trade-offs and synergies between human development potential and biodiversity benefits from protected area expansion, both globally and in Australia.
