Abstract: "A new study says 44% of Earth’s terrestrial area needs conservation attention to halt the runaway destruction of the natural world. The figure is significantly higher than the goal currently under discussion as part of the global post-2020 agenda, which is to protect 30% of land and ocean by 2030. The area identified for protection by the new study is home to 1.8 billion people, almost a quarter of the human population. The study authors suggest prioritizing biologically rich regions at the highest risk of being converted for human use by 2030, most notably in Africa."
