Biodiversity and Human Values

17.7K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

What is Biodiversity?

35.1K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Threats to Biodiversity

27.9K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.3K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms02:18

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

32.1K
Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Conservation Biology
  • Technology Transfer Studies

Background:

  • Biodiversity decline necessitates effective technology transfer from resource-rich to biodiversity-rich nations.
  • The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) lacks a robust framework to monitor biodiversity technology transfer's impact.
  • Biodiversity technology is broadly defined, encompassing diverse activities and stakeholders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define biodiversity technology within the CBD context.
  • To develop a monitoring framework for technology transfer between CBD signatories.
  • To integrate technology transfer into existing biodiversity indicator frameworks.

Main Methods:

  • Defined biodiversity technology as hard and soft technologies relevant to conservation, sustainable use, and genetic resources.
  • Proposed a framework using technology transfer as a response indicator to mitigate biodiversity pressures.
  • Suggested tracking technology flow between countries as a one-to-many relationship.

Main Results:

  • A clear definition and monitoring framework for biodiversity technology transfer were established.
  • Technology transfer is positioned as a key response indicator for biodiversity conservation.
  • Initial methods for tracking technology flow and interim assessment measures were outlined.

Conclusions:

  • A structured approach to monitoring biodiversity technology transfer is essential for conservation.
  • Integrating technology transfer metrics into the pressure-state-response framework is a future goal.
  • Standardized national reporting and testing of metrics will enhance future conservation targets.
