Anthropogenic pressures are driving insect declines across the world. Although protected areas (PAs) play a prominent role in safeguarding many vertebrate species from human-induced threats, insects are not widely considered when designing PA systems or building strategies for PA management. We review the effectiveness of PAs for insect conservation and find substantial taxonomic and geographic gaps in knowledge. Most research focuses on the representation of species, and few studies assess threats to insects or the role that effective PA management can play in insect conservation. We propose a four-step research agenda to help ensure that insects are central in efforts to expand the global PA network under the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
人为压力正在导致全球昆虫数量减少。尽管保护区在保护许多脊椎动物物种免受人为威胁方面发挥着重要作用，但在设计保护区系统或制定保护区管理策略时，昆虫并未得到广泛考虑。我们回顾了保护区对昆虫保护的有效性，发现知识在分类学和地理方面存在重大差距。大多数研究集中在物种的代表性上，很少有研究评估对昆虫的威胁或有效的保护区管理在昆虫保护中可以发挥的作用。我们提出了一个四步研究议程，以帮助确保在《2020年后全球生物多样性框架》下扩大全球保护区网络的努力中，昆虫处于核心地位。
