AND BIODIVERSITY
"The preservation of biodiversity is not just a job for governments. International and non-governmental organisations, the private sector and each and every individual have a role to play in changing entrenched outlooks and ending destructive patterns of behaviour"
Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General on the 2003 International Day of Biological Diversity.
People everywhere depend upon biodiversity for their livelihoods, their quality of life, and to provide basic ecological services on which all life depends. Companies too depend on biodiversity. It helps to stabilise the climate and provide clean air and water, services vital for a stable operating environment. It provides raw materials, technology and business opportunities. Biodiversity, or the variety of life and natural systems, is disappearing all across the globe faster than ever before. This loss of biodiversity represents a business risk. As diversity disappears, so do the opportunities for new products, new technologies and new business opportunities. As users and beneficiaries of biodiversity, businesses are increasingly becoming involved in its management. Companies across the world are now taking steps to halt and reverse the trend of the decline of biodiversity.

Biodiversity Profile of India
Contents
  • Geography and Major Biomes
    Geography and Major Biomes
    India is the seventh largest country in the world and Asia's second largest nation with an area of 3,287,263 square km. The Indian mainland stretches from 8 4' to 37 6' N latitude and from 68 7' to 97 25' E longitude Figure 1 . It has a land frontier of some 15,200 kms and a coastline of 7,516 km (Government of India, 1985). India's northern frontiers are with Xizang (Tibet) in the Peoples Republic of China, Nepal and Bhutan. In the north-west, India borders on Pakistan; in the north-east, China and Burma; and in the east, Burma. The southern peninsula extends into the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean with the Bay of Bengal lying to the south-east and the Arabian Sea to the south-west. For administrative purposes India is divided into 24 states and 7 union territories. The country is home to around 846 million people, about 16% of the World's population (1990 figures). Summary data for India are given in Appendix 1 Physically the massive country is divided into four relatively well defined regions - the Himalayan mountains, the Gangetic river plains, the southern (Deccan) plateau, and the islands of Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar. The Himalayas in the far north include some of the highest peaks in the world. The highest mountain in the Indian Himalayas is Khangchenjunga (8586 m) which is located in Sikkim on the border with Nepal. To the south of the main Himalayan massif lie the Lesser Himalaya, rising to 3,600- 4,600 m, and represented by the Pir Panjal in Kashmir and Dhaula dhar in Himachal Pradesh. Further south, flanking the Indo-Gangetic Plain, are the Siwaliks which rise to 900-1,500 m.

Renewable natural resources support the subsistence of millions of people in Africa, and make an important contribution to many national economies. Africa's ecosystems contribute to the stability of local, regional, and global ecological processes. However, Africa continues to lose biological diversity and natural resources as a result of habitat alteration, over-harvesting, and pollution.

Biodiversity Bibliography: Ecology, Economics and Policy With help from Nancy Bergeron, Michael Jaspin, Daniel Kramer,
Christian Langpap, Steve Pavich, Christian Vossler Dedicated to the memory of Suzanne Szentandrasi Welcome to the biodiversity bibliography. We have found it useful to collect these references for our own work and we are glad to share our efforts with others. This bibliography contains approximately 4000 references on various aspects of biodiversity and conservation. No pretense is made of complete coverage of all the relevant literature. Certain areas that closely match our interests are well covered (e.g., various aspects of economics, reserve site selection) while other topics are not. The bibliography uses Procite bibliographic software, which allows web-users to conduct searches using a general word search in all indexed fields (such as author and year) on the initial search page. Users can also search all non-indexed fields (such as title and abstracts) using the advanced search feature. Recent articles have abstracts included. Many older articles do not. All articles either have abstracts or are keyed to a set of categories, which can be accessed using keywords. A list of these keywords is given below. If you would like a pdf file containing all the articles within a keyword category, please select the links below.

Biodiversity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Biodiversity or biological diversity is a neologism from bio and diversity . It is the diversity of and in living nature . Diversity, at its heart, implies the number of different kinds of objects, such as species. However, defining biodiversity or measures of biodiversity, is not so simple.
Since 1986 the terms and the concept have achieved widespread use among biologists, environmentalists, political leaders, and concerned citizens world-wide. This use has coincided with the expansion of concern over extinction observed in the last decades of the 20th century. Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Scope

Australian Plant Name Index
The Australian Plant Name Index APNI ) is a list of all published names of Australian vascular plants and their bibliographic and typification details. There is a facility to search for records in the active database that have a partular name, or match a particular pattern. The pattern matching is based on the SQL database conventions, so that the character "%" is a wildcard for any string of charcters and "_" is a wildcard for a single character. The APNI database also contains the name records of the Census of Australian Vascular Plants CAVP CAVP names are flagged in APNI under the heading "Census". A "Y" indicates that the name is a currently accepted name; a "N" indicates that the name is not currently accepted. The web versions of APNI are not case sensitive and a trailing wild card is assumed.
