Protection Reduces Loss of Natural Land-Cover at Sites of Conservation Importance across Africa
Table 2
Summary of fit of models (ranked by ΔAIC) to loss of natural land-cover on IBAs in Africa at points matched with calipers, modelled as a function of class (a 4-level factor: within a protected IBA, within a 20-km buffer around a protected IBA, within an unprotected IBA, or within a 20-km buffer around an unprotected IBA), distance to IBA boundary (or, where they differed, to the boundary of the PA), and the interaction between class and distance to boundary.
