One such reason is that they have killed 1,000s of hectares of legal crops belonging to 1,000s of campesinos, Afro-Colombians and indigenous people, and because of devastating environmental impacts including destroying soil fertility, contaminating water, and pushing coca cultivation deeper into particularly environmentally sensitive, biodiversity-rich regions like the Amazon.
To mitigate the risks to corals from the maritime activity on Saba Bank, information is needed on the biodiversity and location of sensitive habitats to develop a zoning plan for their protection.
The disappearance of sensitive species gradually drives the ecosystem to an overall decrease in biodiversity, which in turn favors biotic homogenization (McKinney and Lockwood 1999).
Be aware of sensitive topics.
Be respectful of sensitive topics.
A necessary precondition for the protection of our natural environment is an appreciation of the scale and pattern of biodiversity and recognition of its sensitive interconnectivity.
All of the measures of biodiversity from the different eDNA methods are sensitive to OTU sequence similarity cutoff thresholds.
The methodology of ecological landscape design is applied to secure a holistic reading of the physical setting and propose a holistic, integrative conceptual model for the protection of coastal biodiversity that is ecologically sensitive and in synergy with agricultural and cultural uses.
Furthermore, we recommend that if artificial waterholes are provided in semi-arid systems, it should not be located close to rivers that are mostly dry nor in areas far from rivers as this may compromise the spatio-temporal refugia that these areas afford aspects of biodiversity that are sensitive to continuous elephant impact.
They may be visual, physical, functional, long-term, short-term, easily reversible or not, etc. Spatial impacts are related to the topography of the landscape, the area of land physically covered by RELF, the current land use and geography, the distance from areas of natural beauty or sensitive ecosystems and biodiversity [9].
