Countries are ranked from highest to lowest median deficit among PAs with lions, as estimated by the African Parks Network method, the approach with the lowest minimum funding requirement ($978/km²). More detail on PA deficits in countries that contain very few PAs with deficits (e.g., Kenya and South Africa) can be found in SI Appendix, Table S4, which shows median deficits by country calculated using only PAs with deficits. ISO, International Organization for Standardization.
