Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) protected area (PA) network is a crucial tool to limit biodiversity loss in Europe. Despite covering 18% of the European Union's (EU) land area, its effectiveness at conserving across taxa and biogeographic regions remains uncertain. Testing this is, however, difficult because it requires considering nonrandom location PAs, many possible confounding factors. We used propensity score matching accounted for effects regions, terrain ruggedness, cover assess N2K PAs on distribution 1769 species conservation priority EU's Birds Habitats Directives, including mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, arthropods, fishes, mollusks, vascular nonvascular plants. compared alpha, beta, gamma diversity between matched selections unprotected areas with generalized linear models, mixed nonparametric tests paired samples, respectively, each taxonomic group entire set species. hosted significantly more than land, but difference was not consistent or taxa. Total alpha plants were higher inside outside, except Boreal biogeographical region. Beta general outside. Similarly, had highest values some exceptions Atlantic regions. planned expansion network, as dictated by Biodiversity Strategy 2030, should therefore target southern part region where high are currently underrepresented N2K.

Comprehensive biodiversity assessments play an essential role in strengthening global and national conservation strategies. The recently announced first U.S. National Nature Assessment (NNA) provides unparalleled opportunity to comprehensively review status trends of at all levels. This broad context can help the coordination actions conserve individual species ecosystems. scientific that informed Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted 2022 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) conference parties provide models for synthesizing information multiple levels biodiversity, including decline abundance distribution species, loss populations genetic diversity, degradation ecosystems their services. then relate these data drivers pathways mitigation. NNA augment such analyses avoid pitfalls encountered by previous efforts ensuring policy-relevant design, accessibility, inclusivity process product incorporating spatial relevant subnational audiences. Although United States is not formally a CBD party, effective should take full advantage indicators meeting independent mechanism supports periodic stocktaking ratcheting up ambition response identified shortfalls stemming loss. challenges design assessment are globally as nations develop reporting support new framework's targets.
