The Canopy Global 1000 ranks the world’s land protected areas by conservation value: how irreplaceable the species they hold are, how connected they are to other protected land, and how intact they are, weighted by size. Plant data is being added to the ranking, so both versions are shown side by side. Neither is the final word.
Without plants, Llanganates ranks 67 of 1,000. With plants it ranks 14. It stays in the top 300 either way, which is why it is here.
10.0 million tonnes of carbon inside the boundary is irrecoverable: if it were lost, it could not be recovered by 2050.
No forest-loss figure is published for this area: no forest record: CG1K measures Hansen loss only in forest biomes.
Canopy’s country readiness score (C-RISK) and its weekly satellite feeds have not been published for this area.
