How We Build This Index

Developing the Biodiversity Conservation Index (BCI) was a methodical undertaking rooted in the need to assess and monitor global ecological health comprehensively. This index stands as a critical tool, providing nuanced insights into the state of biodiversity and guiding strategic efforts for its preservation. To obtain comprehensive details, we took into account five key parameters:

Biodiversity Sensitivity

Jordan’s protected areas, numbering 17, cover a range of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, deserts, and marine environments, playing a crucial role in preserving the country’s diverse biodiversity and cultural legacy. Notably, Dana Biosphere Reserve and Azraq Wetland Reserve hold UNESCO-MAB Reserve status, underscoring their global importance in biodiversity conservation. These protected areas are classified under different national designations, including Forest Reserves, Marine Reserves, Nature Reserves, Proposed Nature Reserves, Special Conservation Areas, and Wetland Reserves.

Land Management

Jordan’s protected areas, numbering 17, cover a range of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, deserts, and marine environments, playing a crucial role in preserving the country’s diverse biodiversity and cultural legacy. Notably, Dana Biosphere Reserve and Azraq Wetland Reserve hold UNESCO-MAB Reserve status, underscoring their global importance in biodiversity conservation. These protected areas are classified under different national designations, including Forest Reserves, Marine Reserves, Nature Reserves, Proposed Nature Reserves, Special Conservation Areas, and Wetland Reserves.

Capacity and Governance

Jordan’s protected areas, numbering 17, cover a range of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, deserts, and marine environments, playing a crucial role in preserving the country’s diverse biodiversity and cultural legacy. Notably, Dana Biosphere Reserve and Azraq Wetland Reserve hold UNESCO-MAB Reserve status, underscoring their global importance in biodiversity conservation. These protected areas are classified under different national designations, including Forest Reserves, Marine Reserves, Nature Reserves, Proposed Nature Reserves, Special Conservation Areas, and Wetland Reserves.

Future Trends

Jordan’s protected areas, numbering 17, cover a range of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, deserts, and marine environments, playing a crucial role in preserving the country’s diverse biodiversity and cultural legacy. Notably, Dana Biosphere Reserve and Azraq Wetland Reserve hold UNESCO-MAB Reserve status, underscoring their global importance in biodiversity conservation.
