Dynamics of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change in Tropical Regions (2003, background): “A recent study estimated that undisturbed (or wilderness) areas represent 46% of the earth’s land surface (23).”
The strong influence of collection bias on biodiversity knowledge shortfalls of Brazilian terrestrial biodiversity (2016, background): “As Pantanal is moderately rich in vertebrate species, most of them relatively common and easier to sample in this biome (Mittermeier et al., 2003), vertebrate taxonomists should tend to sample this biome more intensely.”
Changing the Course of Biodiversity Conservation in the Caatinga of Northeastern Brazil (2005, background): “More than 25 million people, approximately 15% of the population of Brazil, live in the Caatinga (Mittermeier et al. 2002).”
Chronic anthropogenic disturbance drives the biological impoverishment of the Brazilian Caatinga vegetation (2015, background): “First, they are frequently recognized as Hotspots, Global Wilderness (Gil 2002) or important centres of endemism (Pennington, Lavin & Oliveira-Filho 2009).”
Exotic Vertebrate Fauna in the Remote and Pristine Sub-Antarctic Cape Horn Archipelago, Chile (2006, background): “Mittermeier et al. (2002) also point out that the Magellanic Sub-Antarctic Forests have a very high percentage of protected area (75% in Cape Horn County and 51% for the whole region), compared to the world’s other remaining wilderness areas, and consequently merit special recognition.”
Mudando o curso da conservação da biodiversidade na Caatinga do Nordeste do Brasil (2005, background): “STATUS DE CONSERVAÇÃO DA CAATINGA A Caatinga é uma das 37 grandes regiões naturais do planeta (i.e., regiões naturais que cobrem mais de 10.000km2, dos quais mais de 70% é constituído por vegetação intacta sensu Aguiar et al., 2002).”
Atlas of Brazilian Snakes: Verified Point-Locality Maps to Mitigate the Wallacean Shortfall in a Megadiverse Snake Fauna (2019, background): “Approximately 60% of Amazonia lies within Brazilian territory, and some portions of Brazil still rank among the largest remaining blocks of understudied wilderness areas, where human impacts are scarce and negligible (Mittermeier et al., 2002).”
Wildlife Conservation and Solar Energy Development in the Desert Southwest, United States (2011, background): “However, the potential for USSEDO conflicts with natural resources, especially wildlife, is also high, given the exceptional biodiversity (Mittermeier et al. 2002) and sensitivity (Lovich and Bainbridge 1999) of arid Southwest ecosystems, especially the Mojave (Randall et al. 2010) and Sonoran…”
