Species Protection Index (SPI) evaluates the species-level ecological representativeness of each country’s protected area network. It is a measure of the extent to which a country’s protected areas are ecologically representative on the species level, calculated as the average proportion of the suitable habitat of a country’s species included in the country’s terrestrial protected areas. The index is built on remote-sensing informed species distribution and the protected areas and it is designated to report progress towards AICHI Target 11.
