In order to assist end-users to synthesize the findings of the 3C modelling, we partially undertook the task of combining benefits mapping, based on simple rules. However there are many potential aggregations and no single correct way to do it, so if necessary end-users are encouraged to download the raw model outputs and undertake fit-for-purpose aggregations of their own. That being the case, the examples presented here may be a guide as to the possibilities.

Across the region, the benefits (or losses avoided) of undertaking conservation action was found to increase significantly when the impacts of climate change was considered. This map shows the average percentage change for either managing existing vegetation or undertaking revegetation. The analysis suggests that conservation action is more important than ever if we wish to avoid irreversible loss of biodiversity, and that certain areas are becoming disproportionately more important when climate change is considered.
As would be expected, this analysis points to growing importance of some relatively cool, moist, elevated areas—where vegetation has been retained in good condition. However, these areas while growing in importance are not necessarily the most important place to invest in conservation at this time.
