Full description
Here we provide two datasets that underpin the Antarctic Priority Threat Management analysis. These data were generated by biodiversity experts during a two-day workshop in Belgium, July 2017.Experts provided assessments of the benefits of applying various conservation strategies to different taxonomic groups in Antarctica. They provided future baseline intactness values (where no strategy is applied) for each taxonomic group and subsequent intactness values where each conservation strategy had been applied. The intactness values represent the status of the taxonomic group in 2100, and could be visualised as population numbers, extinction risk, range extent, cover, density or other relevant metrics.
The expert intactness values were averaged across experts to provide one set of intactness values per taxonomic group.
Benefits were subsequently calculated as the strategy intactness values minus the baseline intactness values.
These data were used in the following publication:
Lee JR, Terauds A, Carwardine J, Shaw JD, Fuller RA, Possingham HP, et al. (2022) Threat management priorities for conserving Antarctic biodiversity. PLoS Biol 20(12): e3001921. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001921

PurposeThe intactness values and benefits were outputs of an upcoming publication where the primary purpose of the study was to determine which conservation strategies would be best for conserving terrestrial Antarctic biodiversity. The future intactness values were used to determine vulnerability of different Antarctica taxa (and to derive benefits). The benefits were utilised to identify the most beneficial strategies and used in the cost-effectiveness analysis to identify the most cost-effective strategies.
