Comparison of habitat protection for European trees and global mammals under two conservation approaches

Caption

Comparison of habitat protection for European trees and global mammals under two conservation approaches. The bars show the percentage of habitat protected for the species on average, when protecting the same amount of area but using two different approaches. Strategies that maximize protection consistently provide higher average protection than fixed-target approaches.
