Paper doi abstract bibtex Endemic vascular plants are one of the main biodiversity indicators used to propose priority conservation areas. The richness of endemic species and corrected and weighted endemism are the most frequently used criteria, while anthropogenic or biocultural factors such as ethnobotanical value or ecological vulnerability are seldom considered. This work proposes priority conservation areas for Sinaloa, Mexico, considering the richness of its endemic species, corrected and weighted endemism, as well as ethnobotanical value, protection status, and the Priority Conservation Index (PCI). The analysis was performed in a 19 × 19 km grid and included 247 records of 78 species. The areas proposed when considering only the richness of endemic species and the weighted endemism coincided with previously known areas of high biodiversity in the state, which are areas of high collection effort and low anthropogenic impact. When considering the ethnobotanical value and protection status, the areas identified included those with greater anthropogenic impact, which contained species of biocultural and economic importance. When the PCI was used, both of these types of regions were identified. We therefore recommend this index as a better indicator to select priority areas.
