Prioritizing Forest Conservation for Biodiversity in Island Hotspots

Explore the importance of conserving different forest areas in an island biodiversity hotspot. Analyze the benefits of ecosystems to humans and decide which forest area should be prioritized for conservation. Consider evidence and trade-offs in your decision-making process. Delve into the phylogenetic diversity of primates to understand the significance of conservation efforts. Enhance your understanding of key vocabulary related to biodiversity, ecosystem services, and sustainability in this engaging activity. 8

Presentation Transcript

  1. Activity 15 Conservation on an Island Biodiversity Hotspot

  2. Read the introduction. • Review the list you compiled at the beginning of Activity 1, “Biodiversity and Sustainability,” of the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems.

  3. Challenge • Which of the four areas should receive priority for conservation?

  4. Which forest area do you think should be conserved and why? • Mangrove • Lowland tropical rainforest north • Lowland tropical rainforest south • Tropical montane cloud forest

  5. Phylogenetic Diversity of Primates

  6. Which forest area do you think should be conserved and why? • Mangrove • Lowland tropical rainforest north • Lowland tropical rainforest south • Tropical montane cloud forest

  7. Analysis 1 • Which forest did you decide should be conserved? Cite at least three pieces of evidence to explain your reasoning, and state the trade-offs of your decision.

  8. Revisit the Challenge • Which of the four areas should receive priority for conservation?

  9. Key Vocabulary • biodiversity • ecosystem services • endemic • evidence • evolution • evolutionary tree • indicator • lineage • phylogenetic diversity • sustainability • taxa • taxon • trade-off
