... Globally, the remaining, relatively pristine wilderness areas in Asia, America, Africa and Australia are considered priorities for biodiversity conservation through the implementation of protected areas (Mittermeier et al., 2003;Anderson and Mammides, 2019). Here, biologically intact ecosystems could persist as very low levels of human activity sustained biodiversity and the related ecological processes (Bryant et al., 1997;Watson et al., 2016). In contrast, the terrestrial ecosystems in Central Europe were widely transformed into cultural landscapes, so that today few wilderness areas remain (Rosenthal et al., 2015;Brackhane et al., 2019a). ...
... Forest ecosystems are considered as the largest terrestrial carbon sequestration unit as it absorbs roughly 2 billion tonnes CO 2 each year (FAO 2018). United States (Heilman et al. 2002) and Australia (Watson et al. 2009) have few intact areas, but the overall intact forests continue to decline worldwide (Bryant et al. 1997) as decline in old forests in the U.S. Pacific Northwest is reported (Strittholt et al. 2006), whereas most of Europe (outside Russia) has no intact forests (Wesolowski 2005;DellaSala et al. 2011). A recent study has stated reduction in the global forest area by 1.2%, with a major decrease in Africa and South America between 2010 and 2020. ...
