Abstract
The global network of protected areas has rapidly expanded, aiming for 30% land and sea coverage by 2030. However, distribution is heterogeneous. This study characterizes the socioeconomic and environmental niche of terrestrial and marine protected areas globally, identifying preconditions for establishment. Results show protected areas, especially restrictive ones, cluster where human development and NGOs are high. 'Potential' vs. 'unrealistic' conservation gains are identified based on vertebrate diversity and establishment likelihood. Alternative strategies are suggested where protected areas are unrealistic.
