Informed zoning of protected areas to designate where certain activities can take place is important their success. The conventional strategy has been design based on flagship species; however, this often proven ineffective for protecting other sympatric wildlife. Here, using China's Giant Panda National Park (GPNP) as an example, we evaluated the effectiveness integrating multiple conservation parameters and endangered species optimize designations, without compromising or jeopardizing primary goal giant pandas. We conducted a stepwise spatial prioritization according taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional diversity 48 bird 23 mammal species. Conservation priority each taxon were spatially congruent across indices but differed between taxa. Species richness provided only weak indicator values. current designation scheme panda protection performs moderately well in terms sheltering birds mammals, there still scope improvement. After balancing competing land uses, identified 7731 km2 with highest values taxa indices, 26 % optimal area lying outside core zones GPNP. recommend that GPNP's criteria are modified conserve broader range alongside pandas, especially better protect sites from human disturbance. Our findings also have potential inform planning worldwide, enabling be integrated regional biodiversity conservation.

Aves ranks among the top two classes for highest number of endangered and extinct species in kingdom Animalia. Notably, IUCN Red List classified green peafowl as endangered. This highlights promising strategies using genetics reproductive technologies avian wildlife conservation. These platforms provide capacity to predict population trends enable practical breeding such species. The conservation is facilitated through application genomic data storage analysis. Storing sequence a form biobanking. An analysis can identify genetically distinct individuals breeding. Here, we reviewed genomics stem cell approaches which not only offer hope saving species, but also other birds threatened with extinction.
