Editorial: Global patterns and drivers of forest loss and degradation within protected areas

cover
Forests host most of the world's terrestrial biodiversity and are a major carbon sink. Yet, forests across the globe continue to be degraded and lost resulting in significant biodiversity declines and increases in human-induced carbon emissions. Protected areas (PAs) represent one of our most important strategies for safeguarding forests and the ecosystem services they provide. Several studies, however, have shown that deforestation rates remain high even within many of the world's PAs. Hence, understanding the patterns and drivers of forest loss and degradation within PAs remains a key research objective. This collection brings together a series of articles that shed light on essential aspects of those patterns and drivers.
