Biogeographic foundations of creating protected areas networks

Abstract

In this study, biogeographic adequacy and potentials of application systems for nature conservation through creating networks of protected areas will be analyzed. This approach in overcoming the consequences of the more intense process of fragmentation and deficiency of habitats has distinguished appliance in the practice of nature conservation in spatial proportions, which include multiple heterogeneous biotic and ecological conditions even of the entire continents.
