Conservation priorities often fall within a Global North-South divide, but new research suggests conservation priorities differ more between communities local and distant to conservation sites for a variety of ecological and socio-cultural factors.

Achieving the UN's 30x30 target could create tension between area-based and people-centred conservation. By incorporating perspectives of people living in high-biodiversity areas, decision-makers can promote more equitable and effective conservation.
