Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I gathered the information on more than 1800 distribution sites of rare species from survey reports such as environmental assessments conducted around the country, and I prepared them as GIS data. Next, I built species distribution models (SDMs) that predicts the suitable habitat for rare species and conserving biodiversity using these rare species distribution information and existing environmental information (e.g., topography, vegetation). Based on these SDMs, I identified important areas in order to preserve biodiversity and investigated the methods to improve prediction accuracy using new environmental investigation techniques such as UAV. In addition, I analyzed various role models (Green Infrastructure, Eco-DRR, etc.) for realizing a natural symbiotic society utilizing ecosystems against domestic important issues such as population reduction and disaster prevention/reduction.
