Sensitivity analysis of conservation targets in systematic conservation planning [PDF]

Ecological Applications, 2015
Systematic conservation planning has rapidly advanced in the past decade and has been increasingly incorporated in multiple studies and conservation projects. One of its requirements is a quantitative definition of conservation targets. While the Convention on Biological Diversity aims to expand the world's protected area network to 17% of the land ...

Operationalizing biodiversity for conservation planning

Journal of Biosciences, 2002
Biodiversity has acquired such a general meaning that people now find it difficult to pin down a precise sense for planning and policy-making aimed at biodiversity conservation. Because biodiversity is rooted in place, the task of conserving biodiversity should target places for conservation action; and because all places contain biodiversity, but not ...

Using climatic-geomorphological surrogates to identify complete and incidental freshwater conservation gaps within large river basins in China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Freshwater wetlands play an important role in preserving global biodiversity and substantial ecosystem services, but they are exposed to higher pressures and threats and have received less attention in conservation planning in comparison to terrestrial ...
