Debang River, Namdapha Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
This Project Tiger Reserve probably no longer has any tigers though official publications claimed a tiger population of 57 as late as 1997. At 1985 sq km, with elevations ranging from 200 -4500 m, the reserve is situated in both the Eastern Himalaya and Indo-Burma global biodiversity hotspots and contains large tracts of primary tropical rain forest. © 2004 Sahotra Sarkar.

Welcome to the Consnet Systematic Conservation Planning Primer. This primer is a set of tutorial modules that will guide you through the process of systematic conservation planning. There are several goals that this tutorial has: to introduce learners to the basic principles of conservation biology, ecology and systematic conservation planning (SCP); to communicate the importance of biodiveristy within global ecosystems, the complex interrelationships of species within these systems, and human roles and impacts; and, to promote learning, understanding and collaboration between different facets of natural area and resource management and with communities invested in planning for conservation. Each module will take 50 minutes. The modules are presented with the assumption that participants and learners have a working knowledge of the basics of biology, ecology, and evolution. In addition to the modules, each module comes with a learning tool that can be used to assess of one's knowledge before and after each module. |

The Cost of Postponing Biodiversity Conservation in Mexico
The selected areas are the ones needed to protect 10 % of the habitat of endemic mammals of Mexico. The black and blue sites are the only ones that needed protection if a conservation plan had been formulated and implemented in 1970. The much larger black and red areas comprise what was needed in 1970. From Fuller et al. 2007. |
