Conservation planners represent many aspects of biodiversity by using surrogates with spatial distributions readily observed or quantified, but tests of their effectiveness have produced varied and conflicting results.
A rare species of lizard
<p>The pristine forest of Neora Valley National Park (NVNP) in Kalimpong hills, Darjeeling district, which has formed an ecological trijunction with Sikkim and Bhutan, is the last virgin wilderness in West Bengal.

A set of easy-to-use species identification guides designed to help Southeast Asian CITES Management Authorities, Police, Customs and other enforcement officers as they inspect shipments of wildlife and derivative products.
Many models of climate-driven extinctions are criticised for being theoretical, but new hard data lends them weight.
Lizards are in danger of dying out on a large scale as rising global temperatures force them to spend more time staying cool in the shade and less time tending to basic needs like eating and mating. Scientists warn in a research paper published on Thursday that if the planet continues to heat up at current rates, 20% of all lizard species could go extinct by 2080.
