Biogeography based conservation planning is an important and effective tool for locating, configuring and maintaining the natural areas that are protected and managed to promote the persistence of biodiversity. In the absence of this approach, countries are likely to have a biased representation of ecosystems.

Abstract


Biogeography based conservation planning is an important and effective tool for locating, configuring and maintaining the natural areas that are protected and managed to promote the persistence of biodiversity. In the absence of this approach, countries are likely to have a biased representation of ecosystems.
