Cost-benefit lens for conservation policy
Conservation Policy Trade-offs
Chile benchmarked against Latin American and OECD peers on protected areas, forest trends, biodiversity pressure, agricultural pressure, and GDP growth.
Chile protected area share
—
—
Current protected-area coverage relative to regional peers.
Chile forest trend
—
—
Positive values indicate forest stability or gains.
Stable forests + PA expansion
—
—
Countries with non-negative PA and forest trends.
Expansion under forest pressure
—
—
PA expansion without matching forest improvement.
Key takeaways

Quadrants combine the direction of protected-area change and forest change.
PA expansion + stable forests—
Expansion under forest pressure—
Lower PA trend, forests stable—
Dual decline risk—
Protected area coverage by country
G1 • Latest terrestrial protected-area share, with Chile highlighted against Latin American and OECD comparators.
Where PA expansion aligns with forest outcomes
G1 • Bubble scatter of PA trend versus forest trend; larger markers indicate higher GDP growth.
Chile versus benchmark regions across core indicators
G2 • Dumbbell dot plot using standardized scores for Chile, the LatAm average, and the OECD average.
Ecological gains versus economic pressure
G3 • Slopegraph from a composite ecological-gains index to an economic-pressure index built from agriculture and GDP growth.
Country scorecard heatmap
G2 • Standardized indicator matrix; higher red in agriculture and GDP columns indicates stronger economic pressure, not necessarily better conservation conditions.
