Abstract
⺠We modeled the spatial distribution of 1996 species of Yunnan. ⺠We identified three diversity hotspots and seven major floristic regions. ⺠We developed a conservation network that would protect most species. ⺠The current protected forest network was shown to be ineffective for conservation. ⺠Based on the land use map the proposed conservation network can still be realized.
