Rapid evaluation of threats to biodiversity: human footprint score and large vertebrate species responses in French Guiana

2010-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Although there is an extensive literature demonstrating the impact of human activities on both species extinction risk and local ecological processes, the methodological tools that allow for the visualization and quantification of the intensity of the observed and forthcoming impacts are lacking. Here we propose a Footprint index for French Guiana, (northern Atlantic coast of South America) which sums up the expec...
