In our new paper we find that invertebrate species richness 🐝🐞🕷 is greater inside vs outside protected areas in 🇬🇧 ✔
Yet, species are declining equally across both protected and unprotected areas 📉❌

The level of protection afforded by protected areas is not necessarily indicative of their quality but a combined taxonomic and functional approach in protected areas can offer a thorough appraisal of habitat quality.

We recently convened a workshop on how best to implement a more equitable management of #ProtectedAreas in #Madagascar .
👉An 'equitable' management does not harm local communities, respects their rights and ensures they genuinely take part in decision-making.

How do we strategically design #protectedareas when stakeholders have different objectives, budgets and species of concern? Tin Buenafe developed an app to evaluate these competing interests!

Making #ProtectedAreas effective for #biodiversity , #climate and #food
1⃣Improvement in effectiveness highly needed
2⃣Trade-offs w/ food production for high levels of coverage + effectiveness
3⃣Differences in terrestrial and marine systems
