In ‘Microclimate limits thermal behaviour favourable to disease control in a nocturnal amphibian’ by Beukema et al., which was published in volume 4, issue 1 (January 2021), two input climate variables of the NicheMapR mechanistic model contained incorrect units. Specifically, (i) units of our cloud cover variable were in fractions, instead of percentages (%), and (ii) units of our precipitation variable

Banks‐Leite et al. (2021) claim that our suggestion of preserving ≥ 40% forest cover lacks evidence and can be problematic. We find these claims unfounded, and discuss why conservation planning urgently requires valuable, well‐supported and feasible general guidelines like the 40% criterion. Using region‐specific thresholds worldwide is unfeasible and potentially harmful.

A recent review suggests that forest cover needs to be restored or maintained on at least 40% of land area. In the absence of empirical evidence to support this threshold, we discuss how this suggestion is unhelpful and potentially dangerous. We advocate for regionally defined thresholds to inform conservation and restoration.
