📝 Abstract

Biodiversity within semi-arid ecosystems is essential for maintaining ecological stability and providing vital ecosystem services. Despite their importance, these ecosystems are under increasing threat from anthropogenic activities and climate change. This study aims to evaluate the biodiversity across various semi-arid regions to understand the implications of environmental changes on these fragile ecosystems. Using a combination of field surveys, remote sensing data, and species richness analysis, we assessed the biodiversity levels across four semi-arid regions. Our findings indicate that semi-arid ecosystems harbor significant biodiversity that is currently underappreciated in global conservation efforts. Moreover, we identified key species that are vital for ecosystem maintenance and resilience. The study suggests that targeted conservation strategies focusing on keystone species and habitat preservation could enhance biodiversity resilience. Our research underlines the urgent need for a cohesive global strategy to protect semi-arid ecosystems from escalating threats. In conclusion, enhancing awareness and implementing sustainable management practices could significantly contribute to the conservation of biodiversity in these crucial ecosystems.
