概括
原住民领土 (AIT) 的群岛对于生物文化多样性保护至关重要,它连接着不同的原住民土地. 这些连接的领土显示出更大的生物多样性和碳储存,增强了对发展压力的弹性.
科学领域:
- 保护科学 保护科学
- 土著研究土著研究.
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
背景情况:
- 传统的保护往往忽视了土著领土 (IT) 的复杂性质,将它们视为孤立的单位.
- 原住民管理对生物文化多样性至关重要,但现有的模型未能捕捉到原住民土地的相互联系.
- 原住民领土群岛 (AITs) 代表着由共同的文化或政治联系联系在一起的IT集群,跨越不同的地理区域.
研究的目的:
- 引入和定义土著领土群岛 (AITs) 的概念,作为理解土著管理的框架.
- 评估亚马逊地区不同土著领土配置的空间异质性,治理和保护潜力.
- 通过Cofán国家的案例研究,研究AIT如何为加强生物文化保护努力做出贡献.
主要方法:
- 将亚马逊地区的3572个土著领土 (IT) 分为四类:单个/多个国家,具有单一的IT或AIT.
- 在这些IT类别中评估了物种丰富性,碳储量和发展压力.
- 进行了厄瓜多尔Cofán民族的案例研究,以探索AIT动态和弹性战略.
主要成果:
- 与单个IT配置相比,AITs覆盖了亚马逊土地面积的45%,表现出更高的物种丰富性和碳储量.
- 尽管有生态上的好处,但AIT面临着开发和开采活动带来的重大压力.
- 科方AIT通过社区驱动的治理,跨领土合作和适应性抵抗策略,展示了增强的生态和文化弹性.
结论:
- AITs促进资源,知识和文化实践交流,加强社会连接性和适应性管理的治理.
- 承认AIT对于在不连续的土著空间中增强生物文化弹性至关重要.
- 需要在保护方面进行范式转变,以承认AIT在维持亚马逊生态系统和土著生活方式的重要作用,以应对日益增长的压力.

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
17.4K
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.

Conservation of Small Populations
13.1K
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
22.2K
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?
18.4K
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.
