State and territory Internet sites Australia is home to more than one million species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. About 85 per cent of flowering plants, 84 per cent of mammals, more than 45 per cent of birds, and 89 per cent of inshore, temperate-zone fish are endemic - that is they are only found in Australia. Changes to the landscape and native habitat as a result of human activity has put many of these unique species at risk. Over the last two hundred years many species of plants and animals have become extinct. For the other species of plants and animals whose survival is threatened a range of management and conservation measures are in place. The Australian Government is working in partnership with state, territory and local governments, non-government organisations, tertiary institutions and community groups to ensure the protection of our native species.

Welcome to the Eldis Biodiversity Resource Guide Feature Managing ecosystems to fight poverty This paper argues that income from ecosystems - or "environmental income" - can act as a fundamental stepping stone in the economic empowerment of the rural poor. However, for this to become a reality, the impoverished must be in a position to exercise control and stewardship over their resources, which is rarely the case. The report also states that the fusion of ecosystem management and good governance is vital to achieving the MDGs. More... Photo: Panos Pictures / Telemans, D.

Environment in the European Union at the turn of the century Environmental assessment report No 2 Abstract Content Summary Related Resources Create my PDF Order Chapter 3.11 Changes and loss of biodervisity - Environment in EU at the turn of the century The overall threat and changes in biodiversity at all scales (genes, species, ecosystems and habitats) are expected to remain high in the EU to 2010 and beyond. The pressure comes from many interconnected sources, principally land use change, pollution and the introduction of alien species. The area available for natural and semi-natural habitats and indigenous species is foreseen to decrease (e.g. the ongoing relentless spread of urban development and transport infrastructure) and the threats are foreseen to continue to increase. But ongoing and some new recoveries are also foreseen for several habitats and species. The robust and generalist species as well as the invasive species are foreseen to continue to be favoured and spread, while rare, endemic and specialist species will continue to decline. Biodiversity is changed and can be lost by the way the land is used, which results in

Special Reports document.write(addSizeControl("sizecontrol11",189,"v")) Maintaining Biodiversity Today, it is estimated that a species disappears somewhere in the world every 15 minutes and that virgin forest equivalent in area to a soccer field is felled every 15 seconds. These two figures alone explain why declining biodiversity is a major global concern. Preventive Measures Because we produce energy from natural resources, we have long been involved in maintaining biodiversity, especially in vulnerable areas. Initiatives include the creation of the St. Fergus Dunes Management Committee in Scotland more than 25 years ago, the creation of the Corporate Foundation for Biodiversity and the Sea more than 12 years ago, introduction of an environmental management system more than ten years ago, and support for regional and international conventions that is cascaded in our Health Safety Environment Quality Charter and our Code of Conduct. We confirmed our commitment by adopting a biodiversity preservation policy, prepared in late 2004 and launched in January 2005. Aimed at minimizing the impact of our operations on biodiversity throughout facility life, from construction to rehabilitation after shutdown, and across the product life cycle, our policy requires that all proposals to build or expand facilities submitted to the Executive Committee for consideration include a section on maintaining biodiversity and that they take account of this aspect in the Site Baseline Study and the Environmental and Societal Impact Assessment.

These challenges are to understand man-made as well as natural global change and their impact on biodiversity. A truly integrated approach is required to meet these challenges, covering the full complexity of the interactions between living organisms and their physical and chemical environment IBED's main fieldwork areas are in Northwest and Southern Europe, Central and South America.
