为了验证公园是保护热带生物多样性的有效手段这一假设，我们对22个热带国家的93个保护区的人为威胁进行了评估。我们发现，大多数公园都成功地阻止了土地清理，并在一定程度上有效地减少了伐木、狩猎、火灾和放牧。公园的有效性与基本管理活动相关，如执法、边界划分和对当地社区的直接补偿，这表明即使适度增加资金也会直接提高公园保护热带生物多样性的能力。
We assessed the impacts of anthropogenic threats on 93 protected areas in 22 tropical countries to test the hypothesis that parks are an effective means to protect tropical biodiversity. We found that the majority of parks are successful at stopping land clearing, and to a Lesser degree effective at mitigating logging, hunting, fire, and grazing. Park effectiveness correlates with basic management activities such as enforcement, boundary demarcation, and direct compensation to Local communities, suggesting that even modest increases in funding would directly increase the ability of parks to protect tropical biodiversity.
