Service Description:
This layer represents the potential of a place to contribute to a reduction in global threats to terrestrial species groups that have been comprehensively assessed in IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species. Each pixel contains a value that describes the scope and severity of threats to all species that have habitat that overlaps with the pixel combined with a multiplier based on each species' conservation status, as described in the IUCN Red List.

Abstract: The Convention on Biological Diversity’s post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will probably include a goal to stabilize and restore the status of species. Its delivery would be facilitated by making the actions required to halt and reverse species loss spatially explicit. Here, we develop a species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric that is scalable across species, threats and geographies. STAR quantifies the contributions that abating threats and restoring habitats in specific places offer towards reducing extinction risk. While every nation can contribute towards halting biodiversity loss, Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico, Madagascar and Brazil combined have stewardship over 31% of total STAR values for terrestrial amphibians, birds and mammals. Among actions, sustainable crop production and forestry dominate, contributing 41% of total STAR values for these taxonomic groups. Key Biodiversity Areas cover 9% of the terrestrial surface but capture 47% of STAR values. STAR could support governmental and non-state actors in quantifying their contributions to meeting science-based species targets within the framework.

 

a,b, Global STAR scores for amphibians, birds and mammals at a 50-km grid cell resolution for START scores (a) and STARR scores (b). Each species has a global START score, weighted relative to their extinction risk. This global START score can be disaggregated spatially, based on the AOH currently available for each species in a particular location. The total START score per grid cell (a) is thus the sum of the individual species’ START scores per grid cell across all Near Threatened and threatened species of amphibians, birds and mammals included in this study. The global STARR score per species reflects the potential contribution that habitat restoration activities could make to reducing species’ extinction risk, and is spatially disaggregated based on the availability of restorable habitat. Thus, the total STARR score per grid cell (b) is the sum of the individual species’ STARR scores per grid cell across all species included in this study. For the legends in a and b, each range excludes the lower bound and includes the upper bound.
