Biodiversity Conservation Prioritization: Strategies and Frameworks by Devashish Kar

Description

Biodiversity conservation prioritisation is the systematic process of identifying and selecting specific areas or actions to maximize the protection of life’s diversity, especially where limited resources are available. It involves a framework called Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP), which uses methods to locate conservation priority areas that balance ecological value with factors like cost-effectiveness, connectivity, and socio-economic impacts. These frameworks consider various aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness, unique ecosystems, and the provision of ecosystem services.
