A regional landscape approach to maintain diversity
Abstract
Land managers traditionally assumed that achieving maximum local habitat diversity will favor diversity of wildlife. Recent trends in species composition in fragmented landscapes suggest, however, that a more comprehensive view if required for perpetuation of regional diversity. A regional network of preserves is the best tool to encourage ecosystem integrity for the long-term.
