Protecting a single endangered species and meeting multiple conservation goals an approach with Guaiacum sanctum in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Aim new protected areas should consider safeguarding high conservation value sites based on multiple criteria and not just the presence of a single endangered or charismatic species. However, the extent to which complementary criteria coincide is usually unknown. We use the case of Guaiacum sanctum (Zygopyllaceae), an endangered timber tree species, to explore whether the protection of forests where this species is most abundant would meet other complementary conservation goals, such as capturing regional plant biodiversity, protecting other threatened endemic species or safeguarding ecosystem services.
