I think this sentence ought to be simplified, perhaps broken into two. It is using quite a bit of jargon and not very clear for our target group. I mark in bold what I find unclear: As of 2022 at least 64 million square kilometers (24.7 million square miles)—44% of terrestrial area—require conservation attention (ranging from protected areas to land-use policies) in order to secure important biodiversity areas, ecologically intact areas, and optimal locations for representation of species ranges and ecoregions.. I actually question if this sentence adds much value here or might be better off in the article on nature conservation, or a similar one. Pinging USer:RCraig09 as you had added this content.

I've simplified the language, which is definitely appropriate in its /* Land use intensification */ section. The content may also be appropriate content in other articles in the See also hatnote in that section. —RCraig09 (talk)17:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
