- The paper investigated the use of heuristically straightforward prioritisation methods for protected areas (PAs) in an existing protected area network. A parallel focus was using state of knowledge (SoK) – known information about diversity of multiple taxa – for each PA as the main criterion for prioritisation. This is important because the study identified habitats that are at risk of disappearing without humanity ever knowing what species occupied those locations. The concepts explored in this study led to the development of an international collaboration between UK, US and Madagascar researchers who have submitted one grant application together.
