Integrating Habitat Status, Human Population Pressure, and Protection Status into Biodiversity Conservation Priority Setting
Article Abstract:
A relative ranking method is presented for prioritizing conservation areas that incorporates both biological and social factors. Components include human population pressure, number of endemic vertebrate and plant species, human efforts in habitat protection, and habitat status. Regions identified using this method include the Philippines, China, the Atlantic Forest, the Caribbean Islands, Indo-Burma, and the Mediterranean Basin.

Genetic variability in mtDNA of the silvery gibbon: implications for the conservation of a critically endangered species
Article Abstract:
The study constitutes the first mtDNA sequence-based population genetic analysis of any gibbon species and provides data significant to the development of a comprehensive conservation strategy for the long-term sustainability of silvery gibbon. The results of the analysis reveal the presence of two genetically differentiated lineages of silvery gibbons.
