Driven by recent international commitments, the following eight years are likely to see the greatest expansion of the global protected area network in history, but underlying biases in protected area location could limit the cost-efficiency and conservation value of this expansion. To increase the transparency of decisions underlying protected area expansion, this project will develop and test spatially-explicit scenarios of expanding human influence at the global scale and the impacts on biodiversity. This information will be then be used to determine the trade-offs and synergies between human development potential and biodiversity benefits from protected area expansion, both globally and in Australia.

在最近的国际承诺的推动下，未来八年可能会看到历史上全球保护区网络的最大扩张，但保护区位置的潜在偏见可能会限制这种扩张的成本效益和保护价值。为了提高扩大保护区的决定的透明度，该项目将制定和测试在全球范围内扩大人类影响和对生物多样性影响的空间明确的情景。然后将利用这些信息来确定全球和澳大利亚保护区扩大所带来的人类发展潜力和生物多样性惠益之间的权衡和协同作用。
