Resumen

Las acciones humanas están disminuyendo la biodiversidad, amenazando el bienestar. Los éxitos de la conservación ofrecen esperanza, pero se necesita una acción audaz para revertir la pérdida de especies y la degradación del ecosistema.

Área de la Ciencia:

Ecología
Biología de la conservación
Ciencias del medio ambiente

Sus antecedentes:

La biodiversidad es crucial para el bienestar humano.
Las actividades humanas han reducido históricamente la biodiversidad.
La pérdida de especies y la degradación del ecosistema se están acelerando.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para resaltar la urgencia de la crisis de la biodiversidad.
Revisar la ineficacia de los objetivos globales del pasado.
Para enfatizar el potencial para el éxito de la conservación.

Principales métodos:

Revisión de las tendencias históricas de la biodiversidad.
Análisis del logro de los objetivos de conservación a nivel mundial.
Análisis de estudios de caso de iniciativas de conservación exitosas.

Principales resultados:

Los objetivos mundiales de biodiversidad no se han cumplido en gran medida.
Numerosos ejemplos demuestran que la pérdida de biodiversidad puede detenerse.
Los éxitos en la conservación demuestran que las especies y los ecosistemas pueden ser restaurados.

Conclusiones:

La transformación de las relaciones entre el hombre y la naturaleza es esencial.
Se requieren acciones de conservación audaces e innovadoras.
Las lecciones de los éxitos deben aplicarse para revertir la pérdida de biodiversidad.

Threats to Biodiversity

Threats to Biodiversity

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...

What is Conservation Biology?

What is Conservation Biology?

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.

Biodiversity and Human Values

Biodiversity and Human Values

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 Fragmentation

Habitat Fragmentation

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.

What is Biodiversity?

What is Biodiversity?

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.

What is Evolutionary History?

What is Evolutionary History?

Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.
