Terrestrial Biome Protection (national weights)

We derive the terrestrial biome protection indicator by first calculating the proportion of each biome in a country that lies within a protected area. We then give greater weight to biomes that are relatively rare within a country – and less weight to prevalent biomes – before aggregating the proportions. A score of 100 indicates that a country protects at least 30% of each of its biome types, corresponding to Aichi Target 11 of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Data for this indicator come from the World Database on Protected Areas.
