| Project Brief Description: | Population growth, deforestation and climate change are increasingly putting pressure on the realised niche of species. Landscapes change constantly because of natural and anthropogenic drivers, underlie fragmentation and habitat loss, which are the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services. Coupled with social, economic and political stresses, these puts a constant pressure on the shrinkage of available space and makes the species more vulnerable to its extinction. Once these factors are clearly known and models are developed which can help in identifying the potential habitat of conservation and cultivation will help in management of biodiversity | ||||
