本文总结了一个广泛的区域咨询过程的结果，旨在确定生物多样性保护的关键领域，并确定整个加州地区的自然资源的人为压力的相对水平。该方法旨在通过一个高度参与性的进程达成广泛共识，其中包括：（1）专家在工作组中独立但协调地开展工作，以综合关于关键生态和社会经济进程的所有现有信息，并编制最新的物种清单;（2）举办研讨会，（主要根据第一阶段收集的资料）确定生物重要区域，并从空间上分析人类活动对生物多样性的压力以及社会冲突的可能性;（3）利用地理信息系统对结果进行整合和空间分析。结果表明，受到高人为压力的地区与具有生物重要性的地区相吻合。预计从这项工作中获得的信息将有助于利益攸关方制定有意义的保护组合。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This article summarizes the results of a broad regional consulting process aimed to identify critical areas for biodiversity conservation and to determine the relative level of anthropogenic pressure on natural resources throughout the Gulf of California Region. The methodology was designed to achieve broad consensus by means of a highly participative process that involved the following: (1) the independent, but coordinated, work of experts in task groups to integrate all available information on the key ecological and socioeconomic processes, as well as to generate updated inventories of species; (2) a workshop to identify (based mainly on the information gathered during the first stage) the biologically important areas, and to spatially analyze the anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity, as well as the potentiality for social conflicts; and (3) the integration and spatial analysis of the results by means of a geographical information system. Results show that the areas subject to high anthropogenic pressure coincide with the areas of biological importance. It is expected that the information ensuing from this exercise will help the stakeholders to develop a meaningful conservation portfolio. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
