From January 2014 to June 2016, through the continuous field trips, I have listed all those butterflies which were spotted. Now, I have analysed the land area management of Dhaka city which contains over 17 million inhabitants. The total species number is 136 and a good number of them are Endangered and Vulnerable according to regional IUCN Red List 2016. How can I synchronize these data? Is it possible to make a conservation management plan with the help of this research? Please help..
Field data are always useful to draw CM plans. In fact, it often happens that CM plans are incomplete because information that actually existed could was not incorporated to them. The papers below show three such cases (for various taxa) where Management Plans, field data, and literature or IUCN data all had occurrence data that were absent from the other sources, resulting in partial knowledge and therefore less-than-optimal plans. Data synchronization was accomplished through database mining and GIS analytics. Methods are explained in the papers.
The difference between the amount of knowledge in a plan, and the amount of existing knowledge that could have been put in a plan, should become a priority especially when endangered species are present. The fourth reference (link) below is a draft for a document dealing with this type of gap analysis.

Dear Dr. Arino,
Thanks a lot for your quick and a very helpful reply with all related terms and papers which will truly be much helpful for the foremost management plan. I will soon going through these papers and will let you know the updates. To be mentioned, land-analysis was performed by using GIS. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Shawan.
