Using Biodiversity and Some Ecological Parameters for Sustainability of Protected Areas.

Biodiversity parameters are among the most used ecological parameters for the sustainability of protected areas and their transfer to future generations without degradation (Aydın & Karaca, 2009; Aydın, 2021; Oğuz, et al., 2021). In addition to biodiversity, it is also important to use ecological parameters to determine biological indicator species (Aydın et al., 2005; Arndt, et al., 2005; Aydın & Kazak, 2007). Species richness estimators are ecological parameters used to test whether the species sampled in the habitat and even the number of species individuals were taken correctly or not (Aydın & Şen, 2020). These ecological parameters highlight three major parameter networks essential for ensuring the sustainability of the protected areas. But can biodiversity parameter values sometimes mislead us? Can biodiversity values sometimes make habitats seem higher and more protected than they actually are? What should be done to eliminate this mistake? The primary goal of this section is to offer insight into the about the mentioned ecological parameters as well as how to use them.
