| Summary: | ( a ) Percentage of taxonomic groups likely to benefit. ( b ) Total expected benefit of strategies summed for all taxa and both regions combined. Bars represent the experts’ best estimates when assessing benefit, while error bars represent upper (best-case scenario) and lower (worst-case scenario) bounds. An outcome of the “Influence external policy” (IEP) and “All strategies combined” strategies is that carbon emissions are reduced globally (in line with the milder RCP2.6); however, benefits are still calculated relative to the baselines of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Values used to calculate benefit were capped at current (100%) intactness (see Fig A in S1 Text for inclusion of benefits beyond current intactness). The data underlying this figure can be found in S2 Data . RCP, Representative Concentration Pathway.
