Abstract

With the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), the international community has committed to retaining ecosystems of high ecological integrity. Monitoring progress toward this target requires the identification of suitable indicators, but these are not universally recognized. In this study, we analyze available global maps of terrestrial ecological integrity and evaluate their representation of different dimensions of integrity (structure, composition, and function). Although 73% of terrestrial surface holds conservation value according to at least one map, less than 1% of land attains high integrity according to all of them. Solely relying on one indicator map risks overlooking the integrity value of at least 41 million km2 of land, with some key areas for biodiversity conservation inadequately represented by these indicators of integrity. However, when used in combination, complementary dimensions of integrity help identify an area covering 41.1% of the terrestrial surface, two-thirds requiring urgent conservation action. The synergistic use of existing measures offers considerable potential to guide the implementation of Target 1 of the GBF while supporting more equitable conservation paradigms. Developing robust indicators and understanding the link among different ecological dimensions is essential to protect ecosystems of high ecological integrity in the long term.

协调不同形式的生态完整性以协助昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架
通过《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》(GBF),国际社会致力于保持高度生态完整性的生态系统。监测实现这一目标的进展需要确定适当的指标,但这些指标尚未得到普遍承认。在这项研究中,我们分析了现有的全球陆地生态完整性地图,并评估了它们在不同完整性维度(结构、组成和功能)的表现。尽管根据至少一张地图,73%的陆地表面具有保护价值,但根据所有地图,只有不到1%的土地达到高完整性。仅依赖一个指标地图可能会忽视至少4100万平方公里土地的完整性价值,而这些完整性指标无法充分代表一些生物多样性保护的关键区域。然而,当结合使用时,互补的完整性维度有助于确定覆盖41.1%陆地表面的区域,其中三分之二需要紧急保护行动。协同利用现有措施具有很大的潜力,可以指导GBF目标1的实施,同时支持更公平的保护范例。制定可靠的指标并了解不同生态维度之间的联系,对于长期保护高度生态完整性的生态系统至关重要。

期刊介绍: Conservation Letters is a reputable scientific journal that is devoted to the publication of both empirical and theoretical research that has important implications for the conservation of biological diversity. The journal warmly invites submissions from various disciplines within the biological and social sciences, with a particular interest in interdisciplinary work. The primary aim is to advance both pragmatic conservation objectives and scientific knowledge. Manuscripts are subject to a rapid communication schedule, therefore they should address current and relevant topics. Research articles should effectively communicate the significance of their findings in relation to conservation policy and practice.
