Vulnerabilities of protected lands in the face of climate and human footprint changes

Vulnerabilities of protected lands in the face of climate and human footprint changes

Proected areas (PA) expansion is a major conservation goal, but its effectiveness is debated. Here, the authors propose a multi-dimensional framework to assess PA vulnerability and select areas suitable for expansion, demonstrating it for 2572 PAs in China under a low-emission scenario.
