Diversity and composition of plant species in the forest over limestone
Introduction. The Philippines is one of the mega diverse (Mittermeier et al. 1997) and "hot spot" countries, with more than 10,107 described plants (Barcelona et al. 2013) and supporting 1.9% of the world's endemic plant and vertebrate species (Myers et al. 2000).Over 57% of the major faunal and floral groups in the Philippines occur nowhere else in the world (Oliver and Heaney 1996).

Frontiers
Ambitious biodiversity goals to protect 30% or more of the Earth's surface by 2030 (30x30) require strategic near-term targets. To define areas that must be protected to prevent the most likely and imminent extinctions, we propose Conservation Imperatives—16,825 unprotected sites spanning ~164 Mha of the terrestrial realm that harbor rare and threatened species.
Miombo woodlands are integral to livelihoods across southern Africa, biodiversity in the region, and the global carbon cycle, making accurate and precise monitoring of their state and change ...
