Despite the prominent role of spiders in most ecosystems, these invertebrates are still notably endangered as well as underrepresented in current conservation efforts. We sent a survey to spider experts and enthusiasts belonging to arachnological societies across the globe to determine the general consensus on globally relevant threats to spiders as well as the most relevant conservation measures. We report that respondents found agriculture, livestock farming & forestry, climate change, urbanisation and pollution (including pesticides) to be the most relevant threats to spider species worldwide. Likewise, land protection and education & awareness were considered the most relevant conservation measures to avoid species declines and extinctions. Although these results tend to be consistent across the biogeographic regions of expertise of respondents, there was significant variation between regions. We discuss the support and justification for the patterns found, their regional variations, and the relevance of threats and conservation measures. This is the first global roadmap for spider species conservation action and research. In general, land should be set aside for species protection, agroforestry practices should be carefully considered, climate change should be mitigated, and the general public should be made more aware of spiders, their importance and the threats they face.

尽管蜘蛛在大多数生态系统中扮演着重要角色，但这些无脊椎动物仍然特别受到威胁，并且在当前的保护工作中代表性不足。我们向全球蜘蛛学会的蜘蛛专家和爱好者进行了一项调查，以确定对全球相关的蜘蛛威胁的总体共识以及最相关的保护措施。我们报告说，受访者发现农业，畜牧业和林业，气候变化，城市化和污染（包括杀虫剂）是全球蜘蛛物种最相关的威胁。同样，土地保护和教育与意识被认为是避免物种减少和灭绝的最相关的保护措施。尽管这些结果在受访者所擅长的生物地理区域中趋于一致，但区域之间存在显着差异。我们讨论了对发现的模式，其区域差异以及威胁和保护措施的相关性的支持和理由。这是蜘蛛物种保护行动和研究的第一个全球路线图。一般来说，
