This indicator is the percentage of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) within a country's territory that is covered by protected areas or Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs). A score of 100 indicates complete KBA protection, while a score of 0 indicates no overlap between KBAs and protected areas.Terrestrial Protected Area data come from the World Database on Protected Areas. Data on KBAs are compiled by BirdLife International in partnership with other major conservation organizations.
