Abstract
Global protected area extent has increased recently but often outside areas of biodiversity importance. Governments recently committed to conserving 30% of land and seas, especially “areas of particular importance for biodiversity.”
Reviewing site-based conservation approaches, we propose harnessing key biodiversity area (KBA) criteria to target such locations.

Key Biodiversity Areas bring conservation close to home
One of the most complex challenges for nature conservation comes from a simple question: what must we save?
