Model results from linear regressions on time series data of proportion area protected in matched priority and control groups for a) Biodiversity Hotspots and b) Last of the Wild to evaluate each scheme’s causal impact on the rate of protection in its identified priority areas.

Time period is whether the prioritization scheme had been established yet, hotspot and lotw are whether the group is the matched priority group (1) or control group (0), and year is the year of the study period (1980 to 2021), centered on 0. Standard errors for each estimated effect size are given.
