Abstract

Critical evaluation of the effectiveness of the current conservation tools is an important step for conservation planning. Herein, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the Brazilian PA network for the conservation of the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of Brazilian snakes. We will use cutting-edge methods on gap analysis in conservation.
