TL;DR: Examples from work in the Western Ghats, in general, and in the Agastyamalai region and Biligiri Rangan Hills, in particular, as well as that of other researchers in India on various aspects of applications of GIS, remote sensing, and 'a landscape ecology approach to biodiversity conservation are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors accessed various literature sources to create a database for Meghalaya state containing information on plant species, habit, altitudinal distribution, endemism, and endangered status.

TL;DR: In this paper, a map of threats to biodiversity is developed, which divides areas that were forested in 1988 into four categories: (1) susceptible to future deforestation and currently unprotected; (2) susceptible and unprotected but currently within the protected area network; (3) not susceptible and protected; and (4) neither susceptible or unprotected nor currently protected.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of protected areas in the Agastyamalai region of the Western Ghats (WG), India were examined using GIS to perform a biodiversity gap analysis of the protected areas.

TL;DR: Large group size, poor habitat quality, and seasonal variation in food availability were the major variables affecting their time budget, and these variables accounted for differences from the time budgets of groups in protected forests.
