Biodiversity Hotspots - The Earth’s biodiversity is evenly distributed across its surface. There are over a thousand major eco-regions in the world. It is estimated that there are about 200 richest, rarest and most distinctive natural areas in the world
Protected areas are widely considered essential for biodiversity conservation. However, few global studies have demonstrated that protection benefits a broad range of species. Here, using a new global biodiversity database with unprecedented geographic a
Therefore, it is vitally important to thoroughly investigate the trade in other threatened freshwater fish species from the Indian biodiversity hotspots and the freshwater eco-regions to curb loss of threatened freshwater fish species and develop a sustainable pet trade. One of the threatened freshwater...
Methodologically and geospatial data analytically, the investigation offers interesting challenges for surveillance geoinformatics of hotspot detection and prioritization, because of the presence of multiple hotspots and multiple sets of multiple indicators....

5). However, we recognize that our development pressure map may under- or over-estimate development threats in certain regions. Where possible, new development should be constrained to already cleared or degraded areas18,19,20. Certain forms of development, if appropriately located and carefully ...
Map of country level differences in BII between 2001 and 2012 (expressed as percentage point difference). Increases in BII can occur if the abundance of originally-present species increases, so there is no upper limit to BII values and therefore to possible percentage point increase. BII cannot ...
