Terrestrial Biome Protection

This sub-indicator assesses a country’s efforts to achieve 17% protection for all biomes within its borders, as per Aichi Target 11. It is calculated using the proportions of the area of each of a country’s biome types that are covered by protected areas and then constructing a weighted sum of the protection percentages for all biomes within that country. Protection percentages are weighted according to the prevalence of each biome type within that country.
