Antarctica’s Protected Areas Are Inadequate, Unrepresentative, and at Risk

Figure 1

Location of Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) and Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Regions (ACBRs).

Red circles indicate ice-free ASPAs that protect terrestrial biodiversity, and yellow circles are ASPAs that are not ice-free or do not support terrestrial biodiversity, and therefore were not used in the analyses. Coloured areas represent ice-free land; different colours denote the ACBRs (see [27]).
