Conserving mountains is important for protecting biodiversity because they have high beta diversity and endemicity, facilitate species movement, provide numerous ecosystem benefits people. Mountains are often thought to lower levels of human modification contain more protected area than surrounding lowlands. To examine this, we compared biogeographic attributes the largest, contiguous, mountainous region on each continent. In region, generated detailed ecosystems based Köppen-Geiger climate regions, ecoregions, landforms. We quantified anthropogenic fragmentation these classes large wild areas, shared lands, cities farms. Human half regions approached global average, reduced ecological integrity mountain up 40%. Only one-third major currently meet Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework target 30% coverage all areas; furthermore, vast majority types present in were underrepresented areas. By measuring human-caused with a representation ecosystems, our approach facilitates tracking progress toward achieving conservation goals better informs conservation.
