Reads Critical Connectivity Areas as defined in Brennan, A., Naidoo, R., Greenstreet, L., Mehrabi, Z., Ramankutty, N., & Kremen, C. (2022). Functional connectivity of the world’s protected areas. Science, 376(6597), 1101–1104. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abl8974 Protected areas (2020) and Key Biodiversity Areas/Global Safet Net areas were masked at a spatial resolution of 10 arc seconds before aggregating the data to 0.5°.

Usage

readBrennan2022(subtype = "KBA_GSN_masked")

Arguments

subtype

Defines whether land area covered by Critical Connectivity Areas has been masked by other conservation priority data. If Key Biodiversity Areas have only been masked the option is "KBA_masked". With "KBA_GSN_masked", land area covered by the Global Safety Net (distinct species assemblages cluster) is also masked. This is useful for complementary scenario building.

Value

Returns magpie objects with the land area covered by Critical Connectivity areas that is NOT already covered by Key Biodiversity Areas or the Global Safety Net (distinct species assemblages cluster) and was unprotected in 2020.
