<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p> <jats:list> <jats:list-item><jats:p>Identifying important sites for biodiversity is vital for conservation and management. However, there is a lack of accessible, easily applied tools that enable practitioners to delineate important sites for highly mobile species using established criteria.</jats:p></jats:list-item> <jats:list-item><jats:p>We introduce the R package ‘track2KBA’, a tool to identify important sites at the population level using tracking data from individual animals based on three key steps: (a) identifying individual core areas, (b) assessing population‐level representativeness of the sample and (c) quantifying spatial overlap among individuals and scaling up to the population.</jats:p></jats:list-item> <jats:list-item><jats:p>We describe package functionality and exemplify its application using tracking data from three taxa in contrasting environments: a seal, a marine turtle and a migratory land bird.</jats:p></jats:list-item> <jats:list-item><jats:p>This tool facilitates the delineation of sites of ecological relevance for diverse taxa and provides output useful for assessing their importance to a population or species, as in the Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) Standard. As such, ‘track2KBA’ can contribute directly to conservation planning at global and regional levels.</jats:p></jats:list-item> </jats:list> </jats:p>
