Great news for #conservation: protection of freshwater #biodiversity can be increased by up to 600% through integrated freshwater-terrestrial planning. Our new @RAS_network study in @ScienceMagazine: science.sciencemag.org/content/370/65… 1/4

We found that conservation planning solely focused on terrestrial #species is likely to protect just ~20% of freshwater biodiversity in the Brazilian #Amazon. 2/4

Even where freshwater species data is missing, we can still increase freshwater conservation. By using only terrestrial species + accounting for #river connectivity, #freshwater protection result in conservation gains as high as 200%. 3/4

The protection of freshwater biodiversity should not be taken for granted, freshwater ecosystems need to be explicitly incorporated into systematic conservation planning. 4/4
