Conservation biology has a number of challenges, one of which is the loss of species. Human activities are the main cause of species loss in recent decades, impacting the diverse global ecosystems, causing fragmentation and overexploitation of habitats. If, on the one hand, there is an increasing loss of diversity at different levels of biological organization; on the other hand, there is still incomplete knowledge of biodiversity. In this context, maximizing the conservation of species diversity is a common objective in environmental research and public policies. One of the main conservation strategies in situ is to preserve or restore natural habitats that maintain maximum biodiversity, ecosystem processes and services. Despite the increase in protected areas, several studies have revealed the relative inefficiency of protected areas in representing biodiversity in general. In view of these challenges, the main objective of this work is to identify how knowledge gaps may be present in the scientific literature about planning for conservation (section 1), biodiversity - taxonomic wealth (section 2), in the use of this information to establish targets priorities for conservation (section 3) and species protection (section 4).
