Global mapping of ecosystem services and conservation priorities (2008, background): “E fforts to conserve wild nature have traditionally focused on biodiversity: the variety of life on earth at scales from genes to ecosystems (1).”
Global patterns of agricultural land‐use intensity and vertebrate diversity (2015, methodology): “Furthermore, a substantial proportion of conservation funding is directed towards CI hotspots (Brooks et al., 2006).”
Status of a protected area system in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: An analysis of PA coverage (2008, background): “Mountains, due to their diverse habitats with varied micro-climatic and ecological conditions, have high levels of biodiversity (Price 2004; Kollmair et al. 2005; Brooks et al. 2006) and are therefore a priority for biodiversity conservation.”
Securing the conservation of biodiversity across administrative levels and spatial, temporal, and ecological scales - Research needs and approaches of the SCALES project (2010, background): “As a consequence, different countries have developed novel priority setting tools (Brooks et al. 2006), among them the concept of national responsibilities (Schmeller et al.”
Targeted vertebrate surveys enhance the faunal importance and improve explanatory models within the Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanzania (2014, background): “Given that biodiversity importance is generally measured on species richness, endemism and associated threat status (Brooks et al., 2006; Fritz & Purvis, 2010), a consequence of this data deficit is that conservation efforts may not be based on comprehensive and/or consistent evidence.”
Unraveling the conservation status of Data Deficient species (2013, background): “There are not resources available to protect all biodiversity features due to time and money limitations (Brooks et al., 2006).”
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions (2009, methodology): “Approaches for using biological data as a component of priority setting vary but can largely be divided into (i) algorithmbased assessments such as minimum-area sets or gap analyses (2, 6–8) and (ii) index-based assessments using indices such as endemism or species richness as surrogates for the con”
A new method to set conservation priorities in biodiversity hotspots (2011, background): “As recommended by some authors (Sapir et al. 2003; Brooks et al. 2006; Wilson Kerrie et al. 2009), establishing priority lists of species and habitats is of utmost importance while allocating financial resources to conservation programmes.”
Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (2019, background): “Recently, the region has been mentioned prominently within various listings of crisis ecoregions, endemic bird areas, megadiverse countries, and Global 200 ecoregions (see Brooks et al. 2006).”
Trends in ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources: a review of global crop and regional conservation strategies (2010, background): “This viewpoint is likely to change in regions with increased impacts on CWR from climate change (Brooks et al. 2006; Thuiller et al. 2005; FAO 2008; Maxted and Kell 2009).”
Convention on Biological Diversity: a review of national challenges and opportunities for implementation (2011, background): “…recent reviews indicate that national decisions on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity have been made difficult due to political, sectoral, financial, and institutional challenges (see Brooks et al. 2006; Mace and Baillie 2007; Carwardine et al. 2009; Harrop and Pritchard 2011).”
