Intercontinental comparison of reserves’ deforestation rates and performance.

Variables included are: mean area of PA (A), median forest loss within PA (), area weighted forest loss within PA (d), median forest loss in the 1 km outside buffer (), fraction of PAs with rout > 0.1%a−1 (F), mean performance (, P = rin/rinex), median performance (), fraction of PAs that are effective defined as P < 0.75(E) and highly effective (H) P < 0.5. Values are shown for all PAs and for the subset of PAs with similar slope and elevation in inner and outer 1 km buffers.
