Service Description: A combination of habitat conversion and inadequate protection threatens our planet’s biodiversity with an ongoing extinction crisis. Using the recently defined terrestrial World Ecosystems and analyzed with a modification of the IUCN’s threatened ecosystem criteria, we found 582 (24.3%) of the 2394 World Ecosystems are in crisis (a combination of high conversion and low protection), with 95 (7.6%) vulnerable, 95 (7.6%) endangered and 80 (6.4%) critically endangered.
Understanding and confronting this ecosystem crisis is crucial for sustaining the planets remaining biodiversity and will require strong national commitments to include habitat representation in future conservation spatial plans. Leveraging existing global initiatives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UN System of Economic and Environmental Accounting, and the GEO Ecosystems Initiative, to help highlight the importance of representation will be critical.
The final crisis ecosystem categories are as follows:
- Vulnerable – those ecosystems reduced to 70% of original size AND less than 30% protection;
- Endangered – those ecosystems reduced to 50% of original size AND less than 17% protection;
- Critically Endangered Ecosystems – those reduced to 20% of original size AND less than 17% protection.
