Protected areas

4 important questions on Protected areas

What are biodiversity hotspots?

Biodiversity hotspots have high concentrations of species and rapid rates of depletion.

What areas have the most species richness?

Areas of lower altitudes (tropics) and mountainous regions.

Why are some areas not economically interesting to save?

  1. Too few species
  2. Too expensive
  3. Too large threats

What are the options for areas that are economically not interesting to save?

  1. Prioritize certain species such as threatened species, keystone species and ecosystem engineers.
  2. Prioritize areas with a high biodiversity
  3. Prioritize areas that are most cost-effective to save (high species richness, but threat level is not beyond recall)

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
