The World Database of KBAs provides freely accessible data on +16,600 sites identified to date. This makes KBAs a useful and accessible tool for governments and conservation organisations to identify priority areas for conservation and guide the expansion of protected areas.
#KBAs serve as a foundational dataset for systematic conservation planning 🌱
They help guide where national efforts should be focused and contribute especially to the #KMGBF Targets 1 (spatial planning), 2 (restoration), and 3 (30X30 planning).
