Places for a Half-Earth Future®
Unprotected places with high priorities for conservation that hold extraordinary species richness and rarity and can contribute to achieving Half-Earth are identified on the Half-Earth Project Map as Places for a Half-Earth Future.
Esta identificación basada en pruebas y exposición de los lugares más esenciales del mundo para proteger la biodiversidad tiene como objetivo promover la investigación y las actividades educativas que inspiren una conservación fructífera y construyan una visión compartida de lo que debe conservarse para garantizar que ninguna especie se quede atrás.
What defines Places for a Half-Earth Future?
Los sitios se identifican según los siguientes criterios:
- Places of extraordinary biodiversity richness or rarity that are largely unprotected.
- Communities pursuing conservation and scientific activities contributing to preserving global biodiversity.
- Sites that have an established area managed for biodiversity conservation outcomes.
Algunos ejemplos son:
- Lugares donde se necesita un seguimiento científico y un inventario de especies para comprender mejor y apoyar la gestión de estos lugares.
- Lugares que utilizan tecnologías de conservación innovadoras y fomentan la gestión responsable.
- Ecosistemas o hábitats que proporcionan refugios biofílicos de importancia única para las personas y las comunidades.
Explore the Half-Earth Project Map
On the Half-Earth Project Map and SPI National Report Cards, the Places for a Half-Earth Future layer shows up to 20 regions in each country that would benefit from additional conservation action. These areas can serve as important starting places because they comprise the top 10 percent of each country’s priority areas. Priority rankings are results from a global conservation planning model that minimizes the amount of additional land needed to protect a sufficient amount of habitat for terrestrial vertebrate species. This model also minimizes the amount of human pressures within the species habitat wherever possible, so that more intact habitat is prioritized over habitat in need of restoration.
