“…Numerous studies have used SDMs to estimate species ranges and inhabited areas for IUCN Red List evaluations [4,17,[27][28][29][30][31]. Several countries have published national-level biodiversity assessments using SDMs [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] with only a small number of species or groups in India have their distribution evaluated for various applications; including; for example for birds [4,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52], for plants [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64], for mammals [65][66][67][68][69][70][71], for invasive and pest species…”

Conservation management heavily relies on accurate species distribution data. However, distributional information for most species is limited to distributional range maps, which could not have enough resolution to take conservation action and know current distribution status. In many cases, distribution maps are difficult to access in proper data formats for analysis and conservation planning of species. In this study, we addressed this issue by developing Species Distribution Models (SDMs) that integrate species presence data from various citizen science initiatives. This allowed us to systematically construct current distribution maps for 1091 bird species across India. To create these SDMs, we used MaxEnt 3.4.4 (Maximum Entropy) as the base for species distribution modelling and combined it with multiple citizen science datasets containing information on species occurrence and 29 environmental variables. Using this method, we were able to estimate species distribution maps at both a national scale and a high spatial resolution of 1 km2. Thus, the results of our study provide species current species distribution maps for 968 bird species found in India. These maps significantly improve our knowledge of the geographic distribution of about 75% of India’s bird species and are essential for addressing spatial knowledge gaps for conservation issues. Additionally, by superimposing the distribution maps of different species, we can locate hotspots for bird diversity and align conservation action.

“…41 Adenia gummifera, Allophylus rubifolius, Albizia versicolor, Brackenridgea zanguebarica, Bridelia cathartica, Comniphora africana, Hibiscus sabdariffa (In Sinhala -Heen napiriththa), Sorgum bicolor (In Sinhala -Idal iringu), Theobroma cacao (Common name -Cocoa), Triumfetta rhomboidea (In Sinhala -Epala) were also reported to be used in conditions of anemia. 5,42 The anti-anemic ef fec t of Brillantaisia nitens on phenylhydrazine-induced anemia in rats was described by Akah et al in 2010. 7 They demonstrated that the oral administration of aqueous and methanol extracts of their leaves for two weeks exhibit a significant (p < 0.05) hematinic activity by increasing blood parameters such as Haemoglobin, PCV, WBC, and RBC.…”

Anemia is a hematological disorder, and a large number in the developing world are affected with significant morbidity and mortality. Among them, most depend on traditional medicine to strengthen the hematopoietic action. The availability, low cost, and minor side effects are thought to be associated with this high selection rate of traditional medicine. The Pterocarpus marsupium is a medicinal plant native to Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal. In which the different components are used by traditional medical practitioners in treating different disease conditions, specifically, latex in enhancing hemoglobin production in anemic patients. However, the scientific evidence for using the Pterocarpus marsupium latex as an anti-anemic agent is minimal. Therefore, this study is planned to evaluate its anti-anemic effect, erythropoietin (EPO)-like effect, toxicity, phytochemical composition, and bioactive ingredients. Consequently, we aim to apply in vitro and in vivo assays to investigate the toxicity and favorable anti-anemic and other hematopoietic potentials of the plant latex using normal human cell cultures, rat-derived hematopoietic stem cell cultures, zebrafish embryos, and phenyl hydrazine-induced anemic rats with identification of bioactive ingredients that might mediate such potentials. If we discover a similar action of EPO in this plant latex, it would be beneficial in the way of treating anemia-associated disease conditions such as chronic renal failure, myelodysplasia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV, and cancer as a replacement for recombinant human EPO (rhEPO). This will be beneficial in the way of reducing the high cost of rhEPO treatment as well. Finally, an attempt to discover a therapeutic agent for anemia from a safe, natural source will considerably contribute to traditional medicine/herbalism due to the crucial role of traditional medicine in the prophylaxis or therapy of hematological diseases in Sri Lanka.
