The Report examined the rate of decline in biodiversity and found that the adverse effects of human activities on the world's species is "unprecedented in human history": [14] one million species, including 40 percent of amphibians, almost a third of reef-building corals, more than a third of marine mammals, and 10 percent of all insects are ...
EBVs would be used to inform biodiversity change indicators, such as the CBD Biodiversity Indicators for the Aichi Targets. [2] The concept is partly based on the earlier Essential Climate Variables. [3] [4] It can be generalised as the minimum set of variables for describing and predicting a system's state and dynamics. Areas with more ...
An OECM is defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity as: [A] geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in situ conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and services and where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socio–economic, and other locally ...
The Partnership was initially established to help monitor progress towards the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 2010 Biodiversity target. However, since its establishment in 2006 the BIP has developed a strong identity not only within the CBD but with other Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), national and regional governments ...
These include regular Biodiversity Monitoring System (BMS) and Biodiversity Assessment and Monitoring Systems (BAMS), Annual Tamaraw Population Counts, targeted Communication, Education, and Public Awareness (CEPA) campaigns, promotion of ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, livelihood opportunities, ecosystems restoration, extensive patrolling ...
A variety of objective means exist to empirically measure biodiversity. Each measure relates to a particular use of the data, and is likely to be associated with the variety of genes. Biodiversity is commonly measured in terms of taxonomic richness of a geographic area over a time interval. In order to calculate biodiversity, species evenness ...
In biodiversity, it focusses on species diversity, ecological interactions and invasive species in order to monitor and promote biodiversity. Landscape research develops the basis for sustainable land use and landscape planning. In the area of natural hazards, WSL researches avalanches, floods and forest fires in order to protect the population.
