These concerns regarding the overall protection of Antarctica could become an argument for applying the ASPA instrument in respect of larger areas to ensure the comprehensive protection of at least certain parts of Antarctica. This would make the ASPA system more comparable with protected area systems...
Marine protected areas have been around for decades but they've mostly been near the coasts and rather small, with 1 square mile, or 2.6 square kilometers, being a typical size. Recently, much larger MPAs have been established in waters far from large human populations, the largest being the...
In both sampling areas the DNA of opportunistic, phytopathogenic and symbiotic fungi were detected, which might have been introduced by human activities, transported by birds or wind, and/or represent resident fungi not previously reported from Antarctica. Further long-term studies are required to ...

“We have a long way to go," he says. "But there’s been incredible growth in the concept of large-scale marine protected areas. It’s almost becoming a race. Hopefully it’s starting to snowball.”
excluding Antarctica). Further, we identified conservation gaps as conservation priority locations not covered by existing PAs (Fig.3C, D, 2.1% and 2.0% of land areas excluding Antarctica). These areas are mainly located in Middle America, the Tropical Andes, the north and south of South Americ...
Burd- wood Bank I and II Marine Protected Areas in the Argentinean sub-Antarctic region (here referred to as NBB-I and NBB-II, respectively, or collectively referred to as BB) and neighbouring areas: the Beagle Channel (BC) and the Atlantic Shelf of Tierra del Fuego (AS) (Fig. 1)....
All PAs not belonging to the country that fell (entirely or partially) within this buffer were considered as transboundary areas which could potentially contribute to connectivity between the PAs of the country under consideration. In this way, we accounted for the possibility that the connectivity ...
They also provide a habitat to a range of plant and animal species, in areas as diverse as the humid Congo basin to Canada's cold North. "In Canada, we have the Hudson Bay Lowlands," explained Lorna Harris, an ecosystem scientist with Wildlife Conservation ...
