Species representation in the current protected area network of continental Peru based on the conservation goals defined in this study. Results are classified by taxonomic group, IUCN category and region.
Figure 2.
Current protected areas in Peru and proposed areas for conservation illustrating global prioritization.
The final rank is a combination of the three priority criteria: selection frequency of PUs across scenarios, vulnerability and connectivity. See Table 3 for key to proposed areas and protected areas.

Maps showing the three criteria used to evaluate the conservation priority of the proposed conservation areas in this study: a) selection frequency of the planning units, including additional solutions with varying conservation goals; b) vulnerability, derived from the Human Footprint index and mining concessions; c) dPC connectivity index.
