Wilderness and biodiversity conservation [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
Human pressure threatens many species and ecosystems, so conservation efforts necessarily prioritize saving them. However, conservation should clearly be proactive wherever possible. In this article, we assess the biodiversity conservation value, and specifically the irreplaceability in terms of species endemism, of those of the planet'
