Conservation priorities for carnivores considering protected natural areas and human population density

2008-03-01

Abstract excerpt

We conducted a prioritization exercise for 47 terrestrial carnivores in North and Central America. We used 2 by 2 degree cells to explore the spatial patterns in overall richness, regionally endemic and threatened species and identified the hotspots (the top 10% of cells in each category). We obtained optimal minimum sets of cells to represent each carnivore either (1) at least once, (2) three times, or (3) in at...
