The bottom-up assessment of threatened species
Identifying the percentage of endangered species is crucial for the protection of biodiversity from local to global levels. However, the high costs of species evaluation jeopardise the feasibility of evaluating all world species. We propose a model to consolidate imperfect local assessments to a first (conservative) estimation of national to global assessment. We used it for the evaluation of 8132 Belgian species starting with incomplete red lists at lower geographic levels (Belgian regions). The model is based on the logical assumption that if a species is safe («Least Concern») at local leve... Mehr ...
