摘要

Categorization of species under different threat classes is a pre-requisite for planning, management and monitoring of any species conservation programme. However, data availability, particularly at the population level, has been a major bottleneck in the correct categorization of threatened species. Till date, threat assessments have been mostly based on expert opinion and/or herbarium records. The availability of primary data on distribution of species and their population attributes is limited in India because of inadequate field survey, which has been ascribed to resource constraints and inaccessibility. In this study, we demonstrate that ecological niche modelling (ENM) can be an economical and effective tool to guide surveys overcoming the above two constraints leading to the discovery of new populations of threatened species. Such data lead to improved threat assessment and more accurate categorization. We selected 14 threatened plants comprising 5 trees (Acer hookeri Miq., Bhesa robusta (Roxb.) Ding Hou, Gynocardia odorata Roxb., Ilex venulosa Hook. f. and Lagerstroemia minu-ticarpa Debb. ex P.C. Kanjilal), 8 herbs (Angelica glauca Edgew., Aquilegia nivalis Falc. ex Jackson, Artemisia amygdalina DC., Begonia satrapis C.B. Clarke, Corydalis cashmeriana Royle, Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don) Soo, Podophyllum hexandrum Royle, and Rheum australe D. Don), and 1 pteridophyte (Angiopteris evecta (Forst.) Hoffm.) having distribution range in North East India, Eastern and Western Himalaya, and Jammu and Kashmir. The study was carried out between 2012 and 2016. ENM-based survey led to the discovery and characterization of 348 new populations. The data so obtained helped in assigning conservation status to 10 species, which earlier were never classified due to data deficiency. Using the new population and distribution data of the remaining four species, only one was confirmed regarding its existing status and two species were classified as 'Critically endangered' instead of the present classification as 'Endangered'. The fourth species was classified as 'Critically endangered' against the earlier category of 'Least concerned'.

Don)和1奈瑟翁( Angiopteris Eventa(Forst。)霍夫姆。)在西北印度,东方和西方喜马拉雅亚和Jammu和Kashmir的分销范围。该研究是在2012年和2016年间进行的。基于恩马的调查导致了348个新人的发现和表征。如此获得的数据有助于将节约状态分配给10种,由于数据缺乏,早期从未被分类过。使用剩余四种物种的新人口和分布数据,只有一个人确认其现有地位,两种物种被归类为“危险地濒危”而不是“濒临威胁”的分类。第四种物种被归类为“严重濒临灭绝”的“最不明关联”。
