What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

18.5K
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?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

27.5K
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 Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

22.5K
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

13.2K
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.

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

17.7K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Area of Science:

  • Biodiversity science
  • Conservation biology
  • Environmental monitoring

Background:

  • The Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework (GBF) and its monitoring framework are crucial for global conservation efforts.
  • Existing biodiversity monitoring indicators often lack clarity, hindering the assessment of progress towards GBF goals.
  • Commonly used datasets, like the IUCN red list, suffer from spatial inaccuracies and insufficient temporal resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical need for improved data to effectively monitor the Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework (GBF).
  • To identify limitations in current biodiversity datasets and monitoring indicators.
  • To propose strategies for data aggregation and utilization to support GBF objectives.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of limitations in existing biodiversity datasets (e.g., IUCN red list, point-based data) regarding spatial and temporal resolution.
  • Exploration of strategies for utilizing existing data, including inventories and richness pattern projections.
  • Proposal for using Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) within GEOBON as a mechanism for high-resolution data aggregation.

Main Results:

  • Current monitoring indicators within the GBF framework are often too unclear for effective progress tracking.
  • Significant spatial inaccuracies and lack of temporal resolution in common biodiversity datasets impede progress monitoring.
  • Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) offer a viable mechanism for collating necessary high-resolution data, despite not being explicit indicators.

Conclusions:

  • Effective monitoring of the Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework (GBF) requires significant improvements in species data quality and availability.
  • National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plans (NBSAPs) and novel data mobilization mechanisms are essential for enhancing species data.
  • Integrating climate targets and biodiversity synergies can facilitate the development of meaningful conservation targets and improve biodiversity trend monitoring.
