Minimum
area set of 14
cells
for 100% representation,
of
which 10 are irreplaceable
A
complementarity analysis reveals that a minimum of 14 areas (cells) are required to
encompass the 24 species at
least once, of which 10 cells are “irreplaceable.” These 10 irreplaceable areas and 4 flexible areas constitute the very highest conservation priorities. Their locations further demonstrate the importance of three
biogeographic zones:
eastern littoral forest, sclerophyllous woodland on the Central High Plateau, and dry deciduous forest in the Far North.
