Abstract
This Research Topic on Advances in Privately Protected Areas presents important new information on the growth and future potential of PPAs. This is critical in helping advance efforts to protect 30% of the Earth’s lands, freshwaters and oceans by 2030. We hope that this Research Topic will stimulate further research into PPAs, their contribution towards national and global biodiversity targets and means of increasing uptake and sustained managed of biodiversity in the long term.
