Abstract

The book "HALF EARTH: The Fight for Earth's Wild Places in the Age of the Sixth Extinction" written by Edward O. Wilson proposes dedicating half of the planet's surface to nature in order to preserve biodiversity and ensure our survival. If action is not taken quickly to protect biodiversity, we will lose the majority of species in a short period of time. The importance of biodiversity is highlighted and questions are raised about how to predict changes in ecosystems and how to study species interactions. The need to increase the area of natural reserves and adopt a more conscious approach to global conservation is also mentioned. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

The Baja California Peninsula is acknowledged as one of the best-preserved wilderness areas worldwide. With the increase of productive projects with high environmental impact in the region, the need arises to provide elements that strengthen the protection of this Peninsula. For this purpose, a set of priority areas of biodiversity geo-conservation were proposed through a physical-geographical regionalization, and using the distribution of biotic richness and endemism. Through conservation gap analysis it was found that between 24 and 39 percent of the peninsula surface in not protected. With the aim of having a geographic space that adequately protects conservation objects it is necessary to add the conservation gaps detected by this work to the 37 percent of the Peninsula that is legally protected.
