Conservation assessments may lead more directly to effective conservation action if they are reoriented to inform con...
متن کاملConservation prioritization and planning with limited wildlife data in a Congo Basin forest landscape: assessing human threats and vulnerability to land use change
Determining priority areas for conservation activities in the forests of the Congo Basin is increasingly important in the face of advancing human pressures and deforestation. Since 2004, the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has led conservation and land-use planning activities in the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba (MLW) Landscape located in northern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We identified ...
متن کاملSpatial Analysis of Central Zagros Forest Fragmentations for Conservation and Restoration Purposes (A Case Study: Posht kuh Forests, Fereydoonshahr, Isfahan Province)
In the current study, conservation strategies were employed for the spatial analysis of forest fragmentation and field assessment approaches in a forest landscape of Central Zagros, in the western part of Isfahan province, Iran. Vegetation and soil properties were accordingly studied in 15 forest sites with various densities including dense, semi-sparse and sparse-forests with 839.2 km2. In the...
