Global biodiversity conservation priorities.
The location of and threats to biodiversity are distributed unevenly, so prioritization is essential to minimize biodiversity loss. To address this need, biodiversity conservation organizations have proposed nine templates of global priorities over the past decade. Here, we review the concepts, methods, results, impacts, and challenges of these prioritizations of conservation practice within th...
متن کاملReconciling Global and Local Priorities for Conservation and Development
‘People-centred conservation’ is now firmly at the centre of international environmental policy discourse, after decades of dispute. Most recently, the 2003 World Parks Congress put forward the overarching principles that ‘biodiversity should be conserved both for its value as a local livelihoods resource and as a national and global public good’ and that ‘equitable sharing of the costs and ben...
متن کاملAssessing Ecosystem Services to Identify Conservation Priorities
The history of life is fi lled with examples of one species diverging into several, even thousands, each with unique traits geared to the demands of its ecological niche. In the textbook case of adaptive radiation, an ancestral fi nch species landed on the Galapagos Islands just a few million years ago, and evolved into 13 new species with specialized beaks adapted to exploiting the various see...
متن کاملGlobal Priorities for Marine Biodiversity Conservation
In recent decades, many marine populations have experienced major declines in abundance, but we still know little about where management interventions may help protect the highest levels of marine biodiversity. We used modeled spatial distribution data for nearly 12,500 species to quantify global patterns of species richness and two measures of endemism. By combining these data with spatial inf...
متن کاملGlobal Conservation Priorities for Marine Turtles
Where conservation resources are limited and conservation targets are diverse, robust yet flexible priority-setting frameworks are vital. Priority-setting is especially important for geographically widespread species with distinct populations subject to multiple threats that operate on different spatial and temporal scales. Marine turtles are widely distributed and exhibit intra-specific variat...
