Species Protection Index (SPI) evaluates the species-level ecological representativeness of each country’s protected area network. It is a measure of the extent to which a country’s protected areas are ecologically representative on the species level, calculated as the average proportion of the suitable habitat of a country’s species included in the country’s terrestrial protected areas. The index is built on remote-sensing informed species distribution and the protected areas and it is designated to report progress towards AICHI Target 11.

how well are protected areas conserving habitat for species?
A score of 100 means that all of a country’s species are sufficiently represented in its formal reserves or other effective area-based conservation measures. In 2020, Burkina Faso and Timor Leste have the highest indicator value at 99,64 and 95,35.

how well are protected areas conserving habitat for species?
The index increased over 50% in Haiti and over 10% in Papua New Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cuba and Tanzania in the last decade. A score of 100 means that all of a country’s species are sufficiently represented in
its formal reserves or other effective area-based conservation measures. In 2020, Burkina Faso and Timor Leste have the highest indicator value at 99,64 and 95,35.
