On the protection of “protected areas” [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Tropical moist forests contain the majority of terrestrial species. Human actions destroy between 1 and 2 million km 2 of such forests per decade, with concomitant carbon release into the atmosphere. Within these forests, protected areas are the principle defense against forest loss and species extinctions.
