We have already begun to focus on points (1) and (2), working with partners until end 2022 to add additional variables to our dataset that relate to climate, water, aquatic biodiversity and threatened species. We will then analyse the data to identify groups of regions that share similar social, economic, and biophysical characteristics and/or regions that similar locational characteristics (e.g. priority places, protected areas); and to identify regions that have characteristics most suited to particular planning approaches (that focus on conservation/ecological systems). Our process for identifying which data gaps need to be filled to address specific management projects could be used in a wide variety of future projects, helping to ensure that the information available is both necessary and sufficient to support environmental policy-makers improve human–nature outcomes.
