The biodiversity of species and their rates of extinction, distribution, and protection
Stuart L. Pimm,Clinton N. Jenkins,Robin Abell,Thomas M. Brooks,John L. Gittleman,Lucas Joppa,Peter H. Raven,Callum M. Roberts,Joseph O. Sexton +8 more
TL;DR: The biodiversity of eukaryote species and their extinction rates, distributions, and protection is reviewed, and what the future rates of species extinction will be, how well protected areas will slow extinction Rates, and how the remaining gaps in knowledge might be filled are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of terrestrial vertebrate diversity and conservation.
TL;DR: A snapshot of how well the planet’s protected area system encompasses vertebrate biodiversity is provided, with substantial differences between the identified vertebrate priorities and the leading map of global conservation priorities, the biodiversity hotspots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil and Gas Projects in the Western Amazon: Threats to Wilderness, Biodiversity, and Indigenous Peoples
TL;DR: The most pressing oil- and gas-related conservation policy issues confronting the region are reviewed, including the need for regional Strategic Environmental Impact Assessments and the adoption of roadless extraction techniques.
