Taking Advantage of Multi-criteria Decision-making TOPSIS Entropy to Prioritize the Threat of Biodiversity: A Case Study of Khuzestan Province

Target:

 This research is aimed at prioritizing the threat of biodiversity in the country. In this regard, in the first step, the threatening factors, the Dangers and Potential Damage Identifiers and then, according to the large criteria, the probability of occurrence and environmental sensitivity of the work are evaluated and the classification of threats to biodiversity was taken.

In this paper, the mental storm process is used to identify important threats. The multi-criteria entropy decision-making technique has been used to calculate the probability of occurrence index, severity and sensitivity of each threatening factor, and using the TOPSIS model, identifying threats Prioritized.

The results show that the highest amount is related to the destruction of natural habitats with 0.834, Hunter allowed 0.481, And the entry of invasive species, the alienation and illegal trade and climate change 0.304 is placed in the first to third priority respectively.

Considering the need to protect genetic resources and the sensitivity of biodiversity in Khuzestan province, it is necessary and unavoidable to make principled and calculated decisions and implement preventive activities.
