Threats to Biodiversity

25.0K
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...

Biodiversity and Human Values

15.6K
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.

Sustainable Development

14.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

What is Conservation Biology?

22.7K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

What is Biodiversity?

30.4K
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.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

27.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Environmental Policy
  • Societal Transitions

Background:

  • Biodiversity is declining rapidly, with 2010-2020 targets unmet.
  • This necessitates transformative change in conservation and societal approaches.
  • The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is developing a Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize research on transformative change and biodiversity conservation.
  • To discuss the influence of transformative change on the CBD's work.
  • To propose actionable steps for integrating transformative change into the post-2020 framework.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of transformative change and conservation research.
  • Analysis of the CBD's draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
  • Synthesis of research findings to inform policy recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Five key steps are identified to inject transformative change: incorporating lessons from transitions research, planning for climate change, reframing area-based conservation, scaling up biodiversity mainstreaming, and increasing resources.
  • Transformative change requires a shift in the CBD's operational model.
  • Broader participation beyond national governments is essential, including businesses, Indigenous peoples, and non-state actors.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing the five proposed steps can drive transformative change in biodiversity conservation.
  • The CBD must adapt to include a wider range of stakeholders for effective implementation.
  • Successful biodiversity conservation hinges on integrating societal sustainability and diverse actor engagement.
