Habitat Loss and Extinction in the Hotspots of Biodiversity
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The results suggest that the Eastern Arc and Coastal Forests of Tanzania‐Kenya, Philippines, and Polynesia‐Micronesia can least afford to lose more habitat and that, if current deforestation rates continue, the Caribbean, Tropical Andes,Philippines, Mesoamerica, Sundaland, Indo‐Burma, Madagascar, and Chocó–Darién–Western Ecuador will lose the most species in the near future.
