The ecological profiles of the KLCDs are highly diverse, and no single landscape consistently ranks superior across all metrics. Therefore, it is recommended avoiding a single aggregate ranking for spatial prioritization. The spatial data should be interpreted alongside local stakeholder validation and assessed against specific conservation or development targets rather than using a generalized scoring system.
