Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2010, the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 in Nagoya, Japan. This Strategic Plan includes a 'shared vision, a mission, strategic goals and 20 ambitious yet achievable targets, collectively known as the Aichi Targets.' The vision is that 'By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.' The Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 is an assessment of progress towards attaining the Strategic Plan roughly halfway between its adoption in 2010 and the deadline for achieving most of the Aichi Targets in 2020. This Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 (GBO-4) Technical Report provides a detailed assessment of the evidence base underlying the conclusions in the main Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 report"--

Book excerpt: This synthesis focuses on estimates of biodiversity change as projected for the 21st century by models or extrapolations based on experiments and observed trends. The term "biodiversity" is used in a broad sense as it is defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity to mean the abundance and distributions of and interactions between genotypes, species, communities, ecosystems and biomes. This synthesis pays particular attention to the interactions between biodiversity and ecosystem services and to critical "tipping points" that could lead to large, rapid and potentially irreversible changes. Comparisons between models are used to estimate the range of projections and to identify sources of uncertainty. Experiments and observed trends are used to check the plausibility of these projections.

Download or read book Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation written by Ben Collen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the impacts of anthropogenic activities increase in both magnitude and extent, biodiversity is coming under increasing pressure. Scientists and policy makers are frequently hampered by a lack of information on biological systems, particularly information relating to long-term trends. Such information is crucial to developing an understanding as to how biodiversity may respond to global environmental change. Knowledge gaps make it very difficult to develop effective policies and legislation to reduce and reverse biodiversity loss. This book explores the gap between global commitments to biodiversity conservation, and local action to track biodiversity change and implement conservation action. High profile international political commitments to improve biodiversity conservation, such as the targets set by the Convention on Biological Diversity, require innovative and rapid responses from both science and policy. This multi-disciplinary perspective highlights barriers to conservation and offers novel solutions to evaluating trends in biodiversity at multiple scales.

This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report sets the economic and business case for urgent and ambitious action on biodiversity. It presents a preliminary assessment of current biodiversity-related finance flows, and discusses the key data and indicator gaps that need to be addressed to underpin effective monitoring of both the pressures on biodiversity and the actions (i.e. responses) being implemented. The report concludes with ten priority areas where G7 and other countries can prioritise their efforts.

Download or read book Global Biodiversity written by T. Pullaiah and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth volume in the new multi-volume set Global Biodiversity is a rich resource on the biodiversity of a selection of countries in the Americas and in Australia. Chapters explore both wild and cultivated plants, wild and domesticated animals, and the variety of microbes of the countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Australia, Paraguay, the United States, and Venezuela. The different chapters explore the geographical status, ecosystem diversity, species diversity, genetic diversity, and conservation efforts in each selected country. They focus on genetic diversity of crop plants/cultivated plants and domesticated animals and their wild relatives and also discuss the endangered and protected plants and animals of the respective counties. Other volumes in this series include coverage of selected countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The volumes provide an informative compilation on the variety and variability of life in the regions discussed and will help to fill the gap in knowledge while also encouraging the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable utilization.

Download or read book Biodiversity Loss Assessment for Ecosystem Protection written by Rathoure, Ashok Kumar and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era defined by relentless human activities and rapid ecological transformations, the world faces an escalating crisis – the precipitous loss of biodiversity. As we grapple with the consequences of industrialization, urbanization, and unchecked developmental pursuits, the very fabric of life on Earth is unraveling. Biodiversity, encompassing the myriad species, their genetic variations, and the intricate interplay within ecosystems, is diminishing at an unprecedented pace. This decline, termed biodiversity loss, extends beyond a mere statistical measure; it reflects the unraveling of the intricate tapestry that sustains life on our planet. In the face of climate change, pollution, habitat loss, overexploitation of species, and the invasion of non-native species, the urgency to address biodiversity loss has never been more critical. It is against this backdrop that this book emerges, titled Biodiversity Loss Assessment for Ecosystem Protection. This groundbreaking work not only unveils the theoretical frameworks surrounding biodiversity conservation but also presents the latest empirical research findings, making it an indispensable tool for professionals across diverse disciplines. From stress on biodiversity and impact assessment to innovative approaches for studying terrestrial, aquatic, and marine components, each chapter provides a deep dive into specific facets of biodiversity loss. The objective is clear: to equip scholars with the knowledge they need to contribute meaningfully to the preservation of our planet's rich biological heritage.
