Biodiversity Issues and Challenges: Non-agricultural Insects

Optimizing Biodiversity Conservation in Sundaland through Advanced Geospatial Techniques and Remote Sensing Technologies

“…To ensure the sustainability of biodiversity and ecosystem services, corrective actions are therefore urgently required to address the shortcomings of these protected areas [2]. The following paragraphs discuss several preventive and remedial actions that can support monitoring and ensuring the effectiveness of terrestrial areas in Southeast Asia [63,64].…”

“…Despite the benefits of using GIS and RS in the conservation of the Sundaland hotspot, there is still some debate over their effectiveness. Some scientists argue that GIS has limited ability to identify important spatial patterns within biodiversity data and that RS can be unreliable when used for long-term monitoring [64]. Nevertheless, despite these limitations, GIS and RS remain powerful tools for biodiversity conservation in the Sundaland hotspot.…”

“…In particular, GIS has been used to identify priority areas for conservation action, and RS has been used to monitor the status of key species and habitats [80]. One important way to protect the region's plants, animals, and other organisms is through the implementation of protected areas [64]. Protected areas can help conserve species and habitats while also providing a place for people to live and work without fear of harmful effects on their environment [2].…”
