There is considerable discussion about the relative importance of conserving high quality wilderness areas (i.e. large and intact landscapes) versus conserving areas with high biodiversity values.
China responded to a devastating drought in 1997, followed by massive floods in 1998, by inaugurating various payments for ecosystem services and a policy for conserving areas that are important sources of ecosystem services.
Marginal change in sediment load per conserved area, dSL/CA Marginal change in sediment load per conserved area, dSL/CA As conserved area is increased within a watershed, a corresponding decrease (improvement) in hydrologic response can be expected.
Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3LI) encoding the inflammatory glycoprotein YKL-40 is located in a phylogenetically highly conserved area on chromosome 1q32.1.
It is possible that those SCCs where no TP53 mutation was identified could have mutations outside exons 5 8 of the TP53 gene, though it has been estimated that less than 5% of mutations occur outside this highly conserved area.
Most Christian monastic conserved lands should be considered community conserved areas usually Category V Protected Landscapess.
Despite the increasing motivation to conserve areas where humans live and work, the conservation of urban biodiversity rarely takes citizens' knowledge, perception, and needs into account.
Protected areas (PAs) have historically been the cornerstones of conservation efforts around the world, which includes national parks, nature reserves and community conserved areas dedicated and managed through legal authority or an equivalent enforceable mechanism (IUCN 2013).
The cheapest and quickest way to conserve areas of high biodiversity is to respect tribal peoples' rights.
The IBA program identifies and aims to conserve areas that are vital to birds and other biodiversity.
While green infrastructure is important, it is critical that surrounding neighborhoods and commercial areas have minimal impacts on conserved areas.
