Selection of priority areas in Legal Amazon for conservation at three resolutions, based on distribution data for primates.

Resolution gives the size of the grid cells. Approach gives the approach to classifying grid cells as reserves (B takes only strict use reserves into account, C uses strict use and sustainable use reserves, and D uses strict use, sustainable use and indigenous lands). Under Existing Protected Areas, N gives the number of grid cells classified as existing reserves on the basis that they contain at least 11,570 ha of existing reserves, and P gives the proportion that these represent of the total grid cells in Legal Amazon. Under Primate Species, N gives the number of primate species occurring in these grid cells, and P gives the proportion that these represent of all Amazonian primate species. Under Random Networks, N gives the number of randomly selected networks that protected more species than the existing reserve network, and P gives the proportion relative to 10.000 (which is the total number of random networks selected).
