# Limitations

This methodology does not seek to fully quantify biodiversity in its crediting area. Instead, it seeks to provide a fair, transparent, and usable proxy metric for the conservation of ecological zones which are known to be high-value targets for planetary health. 

While this methodology can show the extension of conserved ecosystem as rare and endangered species extend their habitats, and activity, it should not be used to show gains in ecosystem integrity (degraded ecosystem improvements). Which will fall under other methodologies that ideally can interoperate with our [Unit](broken://pages/ox3DmCalI8KrUH9JZg10).

This methodology is not designed for use for a particular species. Instead, it is encouraged for projects to collect data from as many qualifying species as possible to demonstrate an intact ecosystem in many taxonomic kingdoms. 

As a standalone metric for conserved biodiversity, this methodology is designed to stack or bundle with other important ecological assets. Including soil, air, water, carbon, and equity. However, while it is possible for the presence of biodiversity to infer the presence of intact soil, water, and carbon flows, this methodology should not be used to quantify such inferences which would require specific ecological metrics that fall outside its bounds.<br>

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://sexytrees.savimbo.com/overall-description/limitations.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
