“…For this particular study this assumption has been advantageous in validating the presence of different driving factors affecting the forest cover pre and post 1992 [52]. Further, the argument that protection goes to less threatened areas and a PA would maintain forest cover irrespective of any policy intervention [43,98] would be redundant in the present study. This is due to the fact that BNP experienced forest cover decline from 1973 to 1992 and is situated just few miles outside the rapidly growing city of Bangalore, in a densely populated area with seven village communities inside the national park.…”

“…Even when biodiversity and humans have different reasons for spatial preferences, the fact that both cost maps and species distributions are spatially autocorrelated means that some ''unlucky'' species are concentrated in regions of high economic value. If these unlucky species have not been mapped, we will fail to conserve them when we exclude high-value locations from the system, essentially replicating historical conservation efforts that tended to concentrate protected areas in high elevation ''rock and ice'' sites and away from agriculturally productive ecosystems (Scott et al 2001, Pressey et al 2002.…”

“…Early protected areas were sited at locations with low potential for commercial or subsistence use; these failed to conserve the biodiversity that was most threatened by human activities (Pressey 1994, Pressey et al 2002, Possingham et al 2006, Margules and Sarkar 2007. Design principles (representation, adequacy, comprehensiveness, complementarity, etc.…”

“…Australia's reserves therefore tend to protect areas that are steep and/or infertile (Pressey et al 2002). As a consequence, one-third of Australia's bioregions are very poorly represented (less than 5 per cent) in Australia's National Reserve System (Hatton et al 2011).…”
