KBA meeting, Washington DC, July 2006 Definition of priorities is necessary Combination of irreplaceability and vulnerability Conservation status is not the best surrogate for vulnerability Ex.: same species, same conservation status, different pressures on its habitat in different regions Human pressure on natural ecosystem can indicate its vulnerability

KBA meeting, Washington DC, July 2006 Definition of priorities Vulnerability: –Integration of variables that represents human pressure (roads, fire, human population, population growing) attenuated by conservation opportunities (natural fragments, proximity to existing PA) Irreplaceability: –Metric that combines rarity and richness (summed irreplaceability)

Preliminary delineation

KBA meeting, Washington DC, July 2006 KBA candidate

KBA meeting, Washington DC, July 2006 Issues Prioritization is necessary The process must be oriented by efficiency (cost/benefit) Data on species biology/ecology are necessary for most of the taxa Integration of biodiversity data and landscape is necessary. Two steps: –reserve selection (KBA priorization) –reserve design (KBA delineation)
