“…The hotspot model has been used extensively to predict the location of the bird population (Chen, 2007;Jenkins et al, 2010). In additionally, extensive studies on species hotspots have been conducted worldwide, encompassing countries such as the Poland (Walesiak et al, 2022) and Namibian (Barnard et al, 1998), Chile (Lisón et al, 2022), Taiwan (Ko et al, 2014), Brazil (Iezzi et al, 2018), China (Hu et al, 2017), California (Yen et al, 2006), Spanish (Arcos et al, 2012). Unfortunately, the hotspots of wetland birds in Marsh Dalmaj, southern Iraq, are still unknown.…”

The escalating human population, urbanization, anthropogenic activities, overhunting of wetland birds, and habitat fragmentation present persistent challenges to the delicate ecosystem. However, Marsh Dalmaj stands as a vital sanctuary for migrating birds, harboring remarkable biodiversity that underscores the need to prioritize the conservation of wetland avifauna. The study spanned from September 2020 to August 2022. Our methodology encompassed several techniques: (KDE) was employed to delineate suitable and non-suitable habitats, Hotspot Modeling determined the fidelity of suitable habitats, the LST and NDVI algorithms were utilized to monitor climate change, the point count protocol (PCP) enabled precise recording of wetland bird species, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was employed to predict future scenarios over a span of 50 years. In 2021, the average LST in suitable habitats was 42.37°C, accompanied by an NDVI value of 0.33. In contrast, non-suitable habitats exhibited an average LST of 45.5°C and an NDVI of -0.13. Additionally, the Area of Occupancy (AOO) encompassed 50.83 km² of suitable habitat and 93.21 km² of non-suitable habitat, while the Extent of Occurrence (EOO) covered 144.04 km². These findings suggest that the EOO and AOO of wetland birds are nearing endangered status according to the criteria set by the (IUCN). Furthermore, the analysis identified 14 hotspots within the AOO, with confidence levels ranging from 90–99%, signifying areas of significant ecological importance. We conclude from our study that highlights the key pathways of a 50-year scenario, demonstrating the negative impact of continuous climate change, specifically LST, on marsh bird populations and NDVI. Consequently, it is crucial for the Iraq Environmental Ministry (IEM) to play an active and influential role in shaping environmental policies and promoting sustainable management approaches, particularly in conserving the biodiversity of the Marsh Al-Dalmaj region

The purpose of this study is to estimate the benefits of ecosystem services for prioritization of land use conservation and to highlight the importance of ecosystem services by comparison between ecosystem service value and green GDP accounting. Based on land use pattern and benefit transfer method, this research estimated value of ecosystem services in Taiwan. Scientific information of land use and land cover change is accessed through multi-year satellite imagery moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), and geographic information system (GIS) technology. Combined with benefit transfer method, this research estimated the ecosystem service valuation of forest, grassland, cropland, wetland, water, and urban for the period of 2000 to 2015 in Taiwan. It is found that forest made the greatest contribution and the significant increasing area of wetland has huge potential benefit for environmental conservation in Taiwan. We recommend placing maintaining wetland ecosystem in Taiwan with higher priority. This research also compared ecosystem service value with natural capital consumption which would essentially facilitate policy makers to understand the relationship between benefits gained from natural capital and the loss from human-made capital.
