| Abstract | Expanding transboundary protected areas is crucial to biodiversity conservation and maintenance of ecosystem services. Quantifying border gradients of species richness is essential to aligning ecological and management boundaries to enable the gradual integration of biodiversity hotspots in conservation strategies that include cross-border areas that buffer the effects of extensive infrastructure. For the China-Myanmar border region (Gaoligong Mountains), we developed a conservation plan based on threatened species, ecosystem services, border gradient characteristics (i.e., spatial changes in ecological variables with increasing distance from a boundary), and ecological connectivity of protected areas. Although 20.2% of existing protected areas were in the north, 27.7% of identified priority conservation areas were outside these protected areas and only 2.93% were protected. Threatened plant and animal richness exhibited a positive spatial correlation (coefficient = 0.12), but their richness hotspots were spatially mismatched. The richness of threatened species was positively correlated with carbon storage and soil retention, but negatively correlated with water retention. In contrast, threatened animal diversity showed the opposite pattern. Threatened species richness decreased as distance from the border increased (strong linear relationship, R 2 = 0.95 for plants and 0.59 for animals). Based on our results, we propose an ecological gradient-based conservation strategy that prioritizes areas where the richness of threatened species overlaps in the central and southern regions and that protects biodiversity hotspots and creates corridors. The framework is applicable to other transboundary regions and supports global biodiversity conventions.
