Cím:	Protected areas mismatch spatial conservation priorities of amphibians and reptiles in the Balkan Peninsula - the Balkan Herps project / Mizsei Edvárd
Dátum:	2018
Megjegyzések:	The Balkan Peninsula is a historical speciation centre, refugia and currently a hotspot for biological diversity in Europe. It has more than 120 species of amphibians and reptiles with high level of endemism. Therefore, protection of the Balkans is a high priority and requires effective protected area coverage. The aim of the Balkan Herps project is to assess the representation of the regional herpetofauna under the current protected area network and reveal potential shortfalls. We created the most comprehensive database of distribution records of amphibians and reptiles on the Balkan Peninsula holding more than 40 thousand records (openbiomaps.org/projects/balkanherps). We built 1km resolution species distribution models using the Biomod2 package, applied several modelling on a unbiased subset of distribution records, with the Bioclim and Envirem predictor variables. We used the systematic conservation planning tool Zonation to identify spatial conservation priorities. Generally, conservation values were highest in the Adriatic Coast, Peloponnese, Thrace and Danube Delta and lower in the Central Balkans. We identified the top 17% of the region and calculated the extent of coverage by protected areas. We found one-third coverage with important gaps occurring in non-European Union countries, but we also found gaps in the EU, mostly in the southern Balkans. It is promising that many deficiencies can be solved by the designation of new Natura 2000 areas in EU candidate countries. There are still gaps in the Balkan Herps database, we hope that the ongoing collaboration will lead to a cross-border conservation plan in the Balkan Peninsula for an effective protection of herpetological diversity.
