National, regional and thematic applications
The LPI database contains thousands of vertebrate population time series. These are fed into the LPI to provide a global indicator of biodiversity change but the data can also be divided into useful subsets to focus on a particular region or group of species. The following examples show some current and recent application of the LPI.
Protected areas
 This project is implementing an on-going, international, collaborative audit of the earth’s protected areas providing, for the first time, critical information on the status and trends of vertebrate populations within protected areas.

National indices
 The Convention on Biological Diversity requires individual nations to report on their progress towards meeting biodiversity targets. We can disaggregate the LPI by country to produce a national indicator provided we have sufficient data available.

Arctic
 With the Arctic Species Trend Index we can track how the Arctic’s ecosystems and the living resources dependent upon them are responding to change.

Migratory species
 Analyses found that migratory species have overall increased in global abundance. Further disaggregation of the data revealed interesting underlying trends.
