Thirdly, once more detailed data sets are available for other taxa, particularly for reptiles and amphibians, complementarity analyses and studies of congruence with bird and primate data sets should be made. Can we use habitat as an indicator of bird or primate conservation priority? In the current "landscape conservation" paradigm, conservation or development projects are targeted at regions known to be important for conservation, but within which high priority areas are not yet identified. Clearly, in the case of western and northern Madagascar, where forests are so fragmented, any forest should be treated as a biodiversity priority and attempts made to evaluate in detail the biodiversity composition of these forests. In the east and south, however, forests are still fairly extensive, and any protocol that can help to identify priority habitats will be useful for regional planning. Given that bird communities in the east are relatively homogenous with latitude (Hawkins, in press b), and thus threatened bird species can generally be found wherever their preferred altitudinal forest type is present, it should be possible to set priorities for birds at an ecoregional scale in the east based on habitat. The most obvious case is the urgent need to include more lowland humid forest under some form of protection. However, distributions in the west and.
