Figure 1.
Continental and local conservation priorities.
Geographic patterns of: total species richness (a,d), conservation value (i.e. irreplaceability calculated considering all the cells as non-protected; b,e), and complementarity (i.e. irreplaceability calculated considering the presence of the existing reserves; c,f) calculated at low resolution for the entire Africa (a,b,c) and at high resolution for Southern Africa only (d,e,f). Darkness of the pixels is proportional to cell values (see text for ranges).
