Conserving the unique to save the diverse — Identifying key environmental determinants for the persistence of the viviparous Nimba toad in a West African World Heritage Site

2016-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Conservation efforts should be directed to species and areas in particular need. Several concepts for conservation prioritization exist. Following appropriate measures, we determined the World Heritage Site (WHS) “Nimba Mountains” and its flagship-species, the Nimba toad (Nimbaphrynoides occidentalis), to be both “irreplaceable” and “vulnerable”. The biodiversity hotspot, Nimba Mountains, is a WHS “in danger”. Con...
