Environment in the European Union at the turn of the century Environmental assessment report No 2 Abstract Content Summary Related Resources Create my PDF Order Chapter 3.11 Changes and loss of biodervisity - Environment in EU at the turn of the century The overall threat and changes in biodiversity at all scales (genes, species, ecosystems and habitats) are expected to remain high in the EU to 2010 and beyond. The pressure comes from many interconnected sources, principally land use change, pollution and the introduction of alien species. The area available for natural and semi-natural habitats and indigenous species is foreseen to decrease (e.g. the ongoing relentless spread of urban development and transport infrastructure) and the threats are foreseen to continue to increase. But ongoing and some new recoveries are also foreseen for several habitats and species. The robust and generalist species as well as the invasive species are foreseen to continue to be favoured and spread, while rare, endemic and specialist species will continue to decline. Biodiversity is changed and can be lost by the way the land is used, which results in

Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world, with a large portion of its species found nowhere else in the world. We depend on biodiversity for our survival and quality of life. The most significant impediment to the conservation and management of biodiversity is our lack of knowledge about it and the effects of human population and activities on it. Ecosystem processes: biodiversity underpins the processes that make life possible. Healthy ecosystems are necessary for maintaining and regulating: atmospheric quality, climate, fresh water, marine productivity, soil formation, cycling of nutrients and waste disposal. Ethics: no species - and no generation - has the right to sequester Earth's resources solely for its own benefit.

Administrative Guidelines on Significance Threatened Species and Threatened Ecological Communities Australia is home to more than one million species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. About 85 per cent of flowering plants, 84 per cent of mammals, more than 45 per cent of birds, and 89 per cent of inshore, temperate-zone fish are endemic - that is they are only found in Australia. Changes to the landscape and native habitat as a result of human activity has put many of these unique species at risk. Over the last two hundred years many species of plants and animals have become extinct. For the other species of plants and animals whose survival is threatened a range of management and conservation measures are in place. The Australian Government is working in partnership with state, territory and local governments, non-government organisations, tertiary institutions and community groups to ensure the protection of our native species. The Australian Government mechanism for national environment protection and biodiversity conservation is the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

These challenges are to understand man-made as well as natural global change and their impact on biodiversity. A truly integrated approach is required to meet these challenges, covering the full complexity of the interactions between living organisms and their physical and chemical environment IBED's main fieldwork areas are in Northwest and Southern Europe, Central and South America.

This biodiversity is the environment’s 'insurance policy', because it ensures the environment’s ability to adapt to changes caused by anything from volcanic activity to human disruption of the landscape. Declining biodiversity is also an alarm bell, indicating that society’s overall impact on the environment is too heavy. The EEA reports presented in this section should certainly set some bells ringing. Although certain pollution levels are falling, and nature protection is becoming better integrated into urban planning, agriculture, and other policies, biodiversity across the EU is still under threat from a wide range of sources. webmaster@eea.eu.int
