Introduction
Biodiversity conservation encompasses scientific efforts to understand biological diversity, ecological processes, species distributions, habitats, and the pressures affecting natural systems. Contemporary conservation research increasingly connects field observations and ecological evidence with strategies intended to maintain biological diversity and ecosystem functioning. International assessments have emphasized the continuing importance of evidence-based approaches to understanding biodiversity change and developing effective conservation responses. [2]
Research Profile
Saúl De la Peña Lastra’s supplied research profile identifies biodiversity conservation as the principal subject area. His academic record is associated with the Municipality of Dodro and the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The Scopus record identified by Author ID 57200381489 contains 21 indexed documents and reports 1,175 citations with an h-index of 13. [1]
Research Contributions
Research in biodiversity conservation contributes to the scientific understanding required for maintaining species, habitats, ecological interactions, and ecosystem processes. Such work may incorporate ecological observation, biodiversity assessment, conservation planning, environmental monitoring, and the interpretation of biological patterns across spatial and temporal scales. The scientific value of these activities is strengthened when research findings can inform conservation priorities and improve understanding of ecological change. [2]
Publications
The supplied bibliographic record reports 21 documents indexed under Saúl De la Peña Lastra’s Scopus Author ID 57200381489. [1] The available input data do not provide a verified item-by-item publication list or individual publication DOIs; accordingly, no publication titles or researcher-specific DOI identifiers are attributed here without bibliographic verification.
Research Impact
The reported 1,175 citations and h-index of 13 indicate that the research record has received measurable scholarly attention within the indexed literature. [1] Citation counts can provide useful evidence of academic reach, but they should be interpreted alongside research quality, methodological contribution, relevance to the field, collaboration, and practical or societal significance.
Award Suitability
The Innovative Research Award under the Natural Scientist Awards event is relevant to the supplied profile because the researcher is identified with the subject area of biodiversity conservation and has a documented indexed research record. The reported 21 documents, 1,175 citations, and h-index of 13 provide quantitative evidence of an established scholarly publication and citation record. [1]
Conclusion
Saúl De la Peña Lastra’s supplied academic profile reflects research activity in biodiversity conservation, supported by a Scopus-indexed record of 21 documents, 1,175 citations, and an h-index of 13. [1] His institutional association with the Municipality of Dodro and the University of Santiago de Compostela situates the profile within the Spanish academic and environmental research landscape.
