摘要：A worldwide call to implement habitat protection aims to halt biodiversity loss . We constructed an open-source, standardized, and reproducible workfow that calculates two indexes to monitor the extent of coastal and marine habitats within protected areas and other efective area-based conservation measures . The Local Proportion of Habitats Protected Index (LPHPI) pinpoints the jurisdictions with the greatest opportunity to expand their protected or conserved areas, while the Global Proportion of Habitats Protected Index (GPHPI) showcases which jurisdictions contribute the most area to the protection of these habitats globally. We also evaluated which jurisdictions have the highest opportunity to contribute globally to protecting habitats by meeting a target of 30% coverage . We found that Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) have the greatest potential to do so . Our workfow can also be easily extended to terrestrial and freshwater habitats . These indexes are helpful to monitor aspects of the Sustainable Development Goal 14 and the emerging post-2020 global biodiversity framework, to understand the current status of international cooperation on coastal and marine habitats conservation.
