Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the length of the boundary of the organization's protected land that is immediately adjacent to already-protected land parcels, thus compounding the total amount of protected land.
-
For many conservation objectives, large, connected areas of conserved land are more valuable than small, disconnected pieces of conserved land. This metric helps capture holistically how a specific project complements previous conservation work.
