text: Planning for new protected areas using range maps can lead to overestimating the level of protection, due to commission errors
  The adoption of a coarse analytical resolution can slightly mitigate this effect but leads to inefficient planning
  Intermediate resolutions are the best compromise to reduce commission errors while maintaining efficient planning
  From the local to the global scale, conservation decisions are heavily influenced by the knowledge of where species are found. Maps of the geographic range of species (or simply ‘range maps’) are typically used to determine the overlap between threatened species and protected areas, and to find new places in need of protection.
