Results from multi-criteria analysis 1 (MCA1, left) and MCA2 (right).
MCA1 includes carbon, hunting and non-timber forest products, fresh water, and nature tourism; MCA2 includes the same variables with the exception of carbon.

Final CEPF priority sites and other Key Biodiversity Areas.
Sites in the eastern humid forests were not prioritized by CEPF, as these sites already have some level of conservation investment.
