Biodiversity shortfalls and taxonomic bias can lead to inaccurate assessment of conservation priorities. Previous literature has begun explore practical reasons why some species are discovered sooner or better researched than others. However, the deeper socio-cultural causes for undiscovered neglected biodiversity, value collectively analysing at risk unrecorded, "dark", extinction, yet be fully examined. Here, we argue that a new label (we propose "shadow diversity") is needed shift our perspective from biodiversity living, albeit unknown, species. We suggest this linguistic imparts intrinsic these species, beyond scientific gaze cultural systems. review research on undiscovered, undetected hidden in fields biology, macroecology genetics. Drawing philosophy, geography, history sociology, demonstrate range factors (funding, education historical bias) combine with traditional, impediments limit discovery detection. using spectrum shadow diversity which enables complex, non-binary comprehensive approach unknowns. Shadow holds exciting potential as tool increase awareness, appreciation support traditionally less studied wildlife sites, soil microbes charismatic habitat fragments. advocate how community wider public see an popular conserving life forms. Most importantly, provides appropriate language conceptual frameworks discuss absent dark extinction.

The management of spatial information and governance has been increasingly important in the environmental planning protected areas, therefore, it is necessary to create decision-making models that help this process. In paper, we present areas aptitude for achieving goals Furna Feia National Park its Buffer Zone, through multi-criteria decision analysis. We collected, processed, spatialized data a Geographic Information System. defined five creation Park: (i) preservation speleological complex, (ii) biodiversity, (iii) scientific development, (iv) education tourism, (v) socioeconomic selected two criteria general specific each goal. For analysis, all identified were mapped organized later weighted using Analytical Hierarchy Process. build suitability maps linear combinations map algebra techniques. characterized 15 25 sub-criteria, which resulted maps. Individually, provided territorial indicators Park. From generated, possible visualize strengths weaknesses territory. analysis integrated into System was promising determination strategic reach goals, facilitating process.Keywords: Geoprocessing; Environmental Planning; Protected Area; Zoning. Análise de Decisão Multicritério como Subsídio Determinação Áreas Aptidão para Alcance Objetivos em Parques Nacionais R E S U M OA gestão informações espaciais e governança têm sido cada vez mais importantes no planejamento ambiental áreas protegidas, portanto, se faz necessário criação modelos tomada decisão, que auxiliem nesse processo. Neste artigo, são apresentadas as aptidão o alcance dos objetivos do Parque Nacional da seu entorno, por meio análise decisão multicritério. A coleta, tratamento espacialização dados foram realizados um Sistema Informação Geográfica. Foram definidos cinco Feia: preservação complexo espeleológico, biodiversidade, desenvolvimento científico, educação turismo socioeconômico, sendo selecionados dois critérios gerais específicos objetivo. Para multicritério, todos os identificados mapeados organizados posteriormente ponderados construção mapas foi realizada pela combinação ponderada usando técnicas álgebra mapas. espacializados caracterizados subcritérios, resultaram aptidão. Individualmente, forneceu indicadores territoriais Feia. Os gerados possibilitaram visualizar potencialidades fragilidades território. multicritério integrada ao Geográfica mostrou-se promissora determinação estratégicas objetivos, facilitando processo decisão.Palavras-Chave: Geoprocessamento; Planejamento Ambiental; Unidade Conservação; Zoneamento Ambiental
