Complete Title: 
Biodiversity conservation in the tropics : gaps in habitat protection and funding priorities
IUCN Publication

Abstract: 

This study makes use of extensive spatial datasets, not previously available, to provide for the first time a comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of biodiversity in the terrestrial tropics. The extent to which potential habitats and closed moist forests are represented in protected areas is assessed. Priorities for conservation action are identified on the basis of a country's relative importance for a given habitat and the extent to which it is protected. National importance for biodiversity is also examined in relation to national and foreign investments in protected areas.
