Assessment of biodiversity to reveal the nature protection value of territories
Application of new possibilities in generalization, visualization and integrated analysis of biological and geographic information enables the effective application of biogeographical approaches for the organization of a system of nature protection areas. The research of the Department of Biogeography of the Lomonosov Moscow State University (case studies of three different regions, i.e. the Putorana Plateau, the Karkaralinskie Mountains in Central Kazakhstan and the Kaliningrad Oblast) demonstrate the possible use of the biogeographical monitoring of rare and protected species for the selection of priority territories for biodiversity conservation at various levels of the spatial organization of biota.
