Guo et al. PNAS_Fig.3 (IMAGE) Aarhus University Caption The world map shows the extent to which current protected areas (PAs) and the top priority areas for the targets for 17 % and 50 % protection is being pressured by human activities (HMI = Human Modification Index). We see, for example, that the Amazon has many areas where trees are only slightly pressed. We also see that in many current protected areas there is a relatively high pressure from human activities; this is especially true in East Asia.
