Resumen

A medida que aumenta la riqueza mundial y disminuyen los recursos naturales, la valoración económica de los servicios de los ecosistemas debe ser mayor para una política ambiental eficaz. Esto asegura que los esfuerzos de conservación estén alineados con las realidades económicas.

Área de la Ciencia:

Economía del medio ambiente
Valoración ecológica
Ciencias de la conservación

Sus antecedentes:

El crecimiento de la población humana y el desarrollo económico conducen a una mayor demanda de recursos.
La escasez de servicios ecosistémicos es una preocupación creciente a nivel mundial.
Es posible que las estimaciones actuales del valor de los ecosistemas no reflejen adecuadamente la creciente escasez y demanda.

Objetivo del estudio:

Determinar el aumento necesario de las estimaciones del valor de los ecosistemas pertinentes para la política.
Proporcionar un marco para la valoración de los servicios ecosistémicos en el contexto del crecimiento económico y el agotamiento de los recursos.

Principales métodos:

Revisión de la literatura económica y ecológica.
Análisis de las tendencias en la riqueza global y la disponibilidad de servicios de los ecosistemas.
Desarrollo de modelos de valoración que incorporen escasez y demanda.

Principales resultados:

Las estimaciones del valor de los ecosistemas relevantes para las políticas deben aumentar significativamente.
La tasa de aumento de las estimaciones del valor de los ecosistemas debe correlacionarse con el crecimiento económico y la escasez de recursos.

Conclusiones:

La valoración económica de los servicios ecosistémicos es fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible.
La política futura debe incorporar estimaciones dinámicas y más altas del valor del ecosistema para abordar los desafíos ambientales.

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...

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 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.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis

Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

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.
