A new indicator developed by the JRC enables, for the first time, the measurement of progress towards meeting the UN connectivity target for protected areas. The indicator shows that the objective is far from being reached at the global level. The EU scores better than the global average but more efforts are needed in many ecoregions.
The connectivity of protected areas (PAs) refers to the possibility of animal species, and of the genes and seeds that they carry, to move from one protected site – for instance a Natura 2000 site or a national park – to another. This connectivity is essential for the preservation of healthy ecosystems with a high species richness and genetic diversity, for the delivery of ecosystem services from natural habitats, and for the adaptation of species to climate and land use changes.
