“…One good method is to aim protection at species that can also guarantee the preservation of other taxon groups (Meffe and Carrol 1994). Some studies support the selection of such umbrella groups ), but many are against it (Fleishman et al 2000;Roberge and Angelstam 2004), and show that species-rich areas frequently do not coincide for different taxa (Prendergast et al 1993;Sabovljevic et al 2001;Chiarucci et al 2007). Our results indicate that the protection of both groups of species (vascular plants and bryophytes) requires a different number of protected areas.…”

The complexity of nature conservation raises questions about biodiversity protection at the level of species as well as their spatial distribution between differently designated nature conservation areas. We have concentrated on comparison of the existing protected areas and recently established conservation initiative areas-Important Plant Areas. We have estimated how well these areas support the protection of two plant groups-bryophytes and vascular plants. We sought answers to the following questions: (a) are there any trends in the distribution of protected bryophyte and vascular plant species in the protected areas network, and (b) does the Important Plant Areas network promote better protection of bryophyte species compared with the existing protected areas network. Our results demonstrated that bryophytes need special care in nature conservation decisions to reach the reasonable conservation target. Important Plant Areas that were targeted to vascular plants have less importance in preserving bryophyte diversity than already existing conservation areas system. Conservation programs like IBA, IPA etc. have their specific tool and outcome to add conservation values to the existing protected areas system.
