Are we zoning out? Biases in the assessment of protected area zoning and a blueprint for a way forward
PAs implement zoning—dividing PAs into sections with different levels of human activity—to balance biodiversity conservation and resource use. Few studies measured the influence of zoning schemes on biodiversity conservation worldwide. Most studies are performed in MPAs and focus on species abundance in the fisheries framework, neglecting fundamental biodiversity features and limiting the understanding of zoning’s conservation effectiveness. We propose a framework to align PA zoning assessments with global biodiversity goals, emphasizing a more comprehensive approach to conservation metrics.
