Conservational projects play a very significant role in keeping biodiversity all over the world. Generally, lack of data leads into unsuccessful plans in the field of biodiversity conservation. Nowadays, niche modeling seems to be the best solution for this problem. Maxent software package is utilized in order to model this ecological approach. Niche is a set of ecological status in which a population can live. Niche modeling has got very outstanding position in conservational projects in the recent years. This is resulted from Maxent software abilities in predicting places with no existing information about a given species as well as its capabilities in predicting future conditions of a special species in a given place. Also niche modeling is considered as an important tool in conserving biodiversity of endemic and red-listed (endangered) species. Therefore, niche modeling does have the capacity to be regarded as the best model for biodiversity conservation planning in Iran. Hence, based on niche modeling, it is necessary to design some applied projects by participation of scientific centers and environmental organizations in order to better conserving endemic and endangered species. In fact, this model provides some tools for defining suitable places for extending species by managing their transportation to other climatically suitable locales.
