Protected areas (PAs) are the most important conservation tool, yet assessing their effectiveness is remarkably challenging. We clarify links between many facets of PA effectiveness, from evaluating means, to analysing mechanisms, directly measuring biodiversity outcomes.

Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstones of global biodiversity conservation efforts, but to fulfil this role they must be effective at conserving ecosystems and species that occur within their boundaries. Adequate monitoring datasets allow comparing between protected unprotected sites lacking in tropical regions. Here we use largest citizen science dataset – eBird quantify extent which eight forest hotspots retaining bird diversity. We find generally positive effects protection on diversity forest-dependent, endemic hotspots, or threatened Near Threatened, not overall richness. Furthermore, show most examined benefit is driven by preventing both loss degradation. Our results provide evidence that, average, contribute measurably some world’s diverse terrestrial ecosystems.
