Biodiversity and Human Values

14.4K
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 Conservation Biology?

20.0K
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.

Conservation of Declining Populations

Conservation of declining population focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and halting a population decline. The approach uses methods to prevent populations from going extinct.

Conservation of Small Populations

14.6K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Threats to Biodiversity

23.9K
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

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.

Summary

Prior informed consent (PIC) under the Nagoya Protocol (NP) shows limited effectiveness in fostering biodiversity conservation and benefit sharing. Policymakers must focus on bequest and research & development for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Law
  • Biodiversity Policy
  • Genetic Resource Management

Background:

  • The Nagoya Protocol (NP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between biodiversity conservation and genetic resource utilization.
  • Prior Informed Consent (PIC) is a key mechanism within the NP intended to ensure fair and equitable benefit sharing.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of PIC in creating a 'virtuous cycle' of conservation and utilization is crucial for policy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To predict the effectiveness of Prior Informed Consent (PIC) as a mechanism under the Nagoya Protocol (NP).
  • To investigate whether the introduction of PIC fosters a virtuous cycle between biodiversity conservation and genetic resource utilization.
  • To identify key policy considerations for designing effective PIC mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • A policy Delphi method involving experts was employed due to limitations in empirical data.
  • An iterative group communication process using consecutive questionnaires was utilized.
  • Best-worst scaling was used to measure the relative importance of identified policy issues.

Main Results:

  • The study found that the overall contribution of PIC to the intended virtuous cycle is limited, contrary to the NP's objectives.
  • Six issues related to PIC introduction and three related to its non-introduction were identified and evaluated.
  • Negative impacts on research and development were found to negatively affect bequest, hindering conservation efforts.

Conclusions:

  • PIC's effectiveness in promoting a virtuous cycle between biodiversity conservation and genetic resource utilization is limited.
  • Policymakers must prioritize bequest and research and development when designing PIC mechanisms.
  • Addressing the negative impacts of PIC on research and development is essential for successful biodiversity conservation and benefit sharing.
