Biodiversity UNDP-GEF projects in the focal area of biological diversity, or biodiversity, seek to help countries protect the global environment through an ecosystem approach that will have long-term benefits. The importance of biodiversity is widely recognized and the Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) provides the guidance for projects in this focal area. Loss of biodiversity impacts not only the ecological, genetic and aesthetic concerns of the global community, but also affects sustainable development, and has social, economic, cultural and educational consequences. In this regard, the development of scientific, technical and institutional capacity is often an intrinsic part of UNDP-GEF projects in biodiversity. Projects aim to address the various root causes of reduction of biological diversity, with a focus on sustainable use that allows for the local communities involved to see socio-economic benefits. Enabling activities are designed to assist countries with achieving their Convention commitments. More recently, the

The project goals are to integrate species-level revisionary systematics of the major regional faunas, contribute to molecular-based phylogenetic hypotheses, expand predictive classifications, and promulgate the results in both electronic and print media. Conus is an unusually important candidate for revisionary studies because of its Biodiversity : With more than 500 extant species Conus is the largest genus of marine invertebrates and a major contributor to biodiversity in the sea; Distribution and abundance Conus occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical oceans but is most diverse in the Indo-West Pacific region. It attains maximum density of 40 individuals per square meter but is usually much less abundant. Ecology : Large size, abundance, high local diversity (up to 36 spp./habitat), and rather uniform trophic position as primary carnivores make

69. Biodiversity Theory Overview of some theoretical basics of biodiversity. http://redpath-museum.mcgill.ca/Qbp/2.About Biodiversity/theory.html

A definition of Biodiversity Biodiversity has been most generally defined as the " full variety of life on Earth " ( Takacs, 1996 ). More specifically, biodiversity is the study of the processes that create and maintain variation. It is concerned with the variety of individuals within populations, the diversity of species within communities, and the range of ecological roles within ecosystems Graham Bell pers. comm. If this seems like a vague definition, that's because it is. There is no agreement on what exactly biodiversity means. It can refer to genetic diversity, to species diversity or to the diversity of environments or habitats. Some believe that it has simply replaced the terms "nature" or "wilderness" Chadwick, 1993 Furthermore, researchers and conservationists all employ a working definition of biodiversity shaped by their values, interests and goals. There is a great variety of human perception about what biodiversity is and, therefore, there are many different reasons why it important to conserve biological diversity. This section of the website will provide a brief overview of some theoretical basics of biodiversity. Each of four parts will discuss, respectively, the different levels of biodiversity, why biodiversity is valuable in itself and in its contribution to human well-being, the processes that generate and maintain biodiversity, and how biodiversity is assessed in the field.

multitude of problems face our planet. More people live in poverty now than at any other time in history. Rising greenhouse gas emissions pose a dangerous experiment for our atmosphere and threaten human and natural communities. The diversity of life on Earth is dwindling as native habitats are converted for human use. These environmental and social challenges cannot be solved in isolation. Designing resilient actions that address multiple global problems simultaneously is a pressing challenge for humans in the 21st century. Given the magnitude of these problems, is there anything we can do? A new global alliance thinks there is. The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) is a partnership between leading companies, NGOs and research institutes seeking to promote integrated solutions to land management around the world. With this goal in mind, the CCBA has developed voluntary standards to help design and identify land management projects that simultaneously minimize climate change, support sustainable development and conserve biodiversity.

Aquatic Biodiversity Contact Us Search: All EPA This Area You are here: EPA Home Biological Indicators of Watershed Health Aquatic Biodiversity Aquatic biodiversity can be defined as the variety of life and the ecosystems that make up the freshwater, tidal, and marine regions of the world and their interactions. Aquatic biodiversity encompasses freshwater ecosystems , including lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, rivers and streams, groundwater, and wetlands. The banks of streams or riparian areas are also important areas associated with freshwater systems. It also consists of marine ecosystems, including oceans, estuaries, salt marshes, seagrass beds, coral reefs, kelp beds, and mangrove forests. Aquatic ecosystems also provide a home to many species including phytoplankton, zooplankton, aquatic plants, insects, fish, birds, mammals, and others. They are organized at many levels, from the smallest building blocks of life to complete ecosystems, encompassing communities, populations, species, and genetic levels. In summary, aquatic biodiversity includes all unique species and habitats, and the interaction between them. Why is Aquatic Biodiversity Important?

78. Natural Biodiversity Natural biodiversity is working to restore nature’s diversity in Pennsylvania’s Alleghenies region. Its projects entail invasive species control, http://www.naturalbiodiversity.org/

Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves. - Jean Jacques Rousseau Had Rousseau walked in the 18th-century Alleghenies, he would have observed a substantially different natural world than the one that we see today. Old-growth forests, filled with mighty chestnut, hemlock and beech trees, dominated the ridges. A wondrous diversity of plants provided food and other essentials of life. Over the ensuing centuries, old-growth forests were cut, blight decimated the chestnuts, and species such as Japanese knotweed and multiflora rose were introduced, crowding out native plants. Natural Biodiversity is a program committed to curtailing invasive species and restoring native plants. Learn more about our mission, our projects, and how you can help!
