     Extractions: document.write(quotes[rand(quotes.length)]); Key issues outlined here include: why Biodiversity the United Nations Earth Summit threats to species and species extinction safe food and the threat of genetic engineering There is also a list of useful sites and sources on biodiversity and safe food A rich whole The numerical multiplicity, the variety and infinitely rich relationships between, and behavior of, living beings are of inestimable value to everyone and everything on Earth: clean air, uncontaminated water, healthy, sustainable vegetation all depend on this richness. It can be forcefully argued that it is not enough merely to classify example-species and attempt to preserve them one by one. It is respect for the whole that counts just as much: after all, we cannot (nor should we try to) predict or select how specific strains, genes and species evolve. Diversity of the gene pool in agriculture tends towards crops that are disease-resistant and higher-yielding. Diversity of animal species strengthens and enriches the food web and supplies medicines. Diversity of the ecosystem produces oxygen and helps prevent soil erosion. Equally important, both informed and casual contemplation of biodiversity invites us to a unique inspiration, curiosity and understanding of the Earth and our part in its life systems.

     Extractions: The Importance of Biological Diversity By Anthony C. Janetos Our reliance on the Earth's non-renewable resources of oil and other fuel and non-fuel minerals is well understood by most people. Yet, when caught in the tide of technological advances that seem to dominate our everyday lives, we can easily forget the extent to which the modern, industrial world still depends on the biological world: on both the ecological systems that we have already learned to manage, such as farms and orchards, and on those we have not. A fundamental property of ecological systems is a certain mixture, or diversity of living things: we cannot expect to find deer or ducks in the wild in the absence of the interconnected web of other plants and animals on which their lives depend. Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is a term that is now commonly used to describe the variety of living things and their relationships to each other and interactions with the environment. The notion of biodiversity encompasses several different levels of biological organization, from the very specific to the most general. Perhaps the most basic is the variety of information contained in the genes of specific organisms, be they petunias or people. Different combinations of genes within organisms, or the existence of different variants of the same basic gene are the fundamental "stuff" of evolution. At the next level is the variety of different species that exist on the Earth: a concept that includes the relationship of different groups of species to each other. Biodiversity also describes the varied composition of ecosystems, and the variety of different sorts of ecosystems that are found in regions of study that biologists call

     Extractions: Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture The following Special is extracted from "Human Nature: Agricultural Biodiversity and Farm-based Food Security" by Hope Shand, an independent study prepared by the Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI) for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (December 1997). The full publication is available in Portable Document Format (PDF) at: http://www.rafi.ca/publications/human_nature.html See also Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) BIODIVERSITY - a technical concept as much as a "green philosophy" - is here to stay. Since well before the Rio Earth Summit, we have become aware of the fragility of the genetic resources and ecosystems that provide the basis for our livelihood. Food and other agricultural products depend directly on germplasm incorporated in useful plants and animals, but also indirectly through the manifold functions that natural and managed ecosystems perform: buffering water and soil nutrients, stabilising erosion, controlling the invasion of harmful species and many others. This will be even more true in the world of tomorrow with its expected 10 billion inhabitants.

The Department of the Environment (DOE) and its agencies has the primary responsibility for biodiversity issues and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) and its agencies would also have key responsibilities.

     Extractions: Sub-group on Wider Biodiversity Issues This site summarises the role and responsibilities of the Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE) subgroup on Wider Biodiversity Issues. An overview of the legislative framework, and risk assessment and monitoring associated with the role of the subgroup is given in two accompanying papers. These will be available shortly on the Defra/ACRE web-site: ( www.defra.gov.uk/environment/acre/index.htm ). A summary of the controls on the deliberate release of GMOs can be found below. Council Directive 90/220/EEC on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms controls the release and marketing of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in the EU. The Directive defines a GMO as 'an organism in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination'. The Directive requires Member States to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to avoid adverse effects on human health and the environment that might arise from the release or marketing of GMOs. The basic principles for the regulation of GMO releases in the EU are: A case-by-case environmental risk assessment should always be carried out prior to a release of a GMO;

     Extractions: G.Info: State of the Environment Georgia - Biodiversity World Wildlife Fund activities was founded in Georgia in 1990. Protected territories (conservation programme), which's aim to help keeping less protected territories from economic influence formed historical-cultural areas. In 1990-91 Georgian and German specialists erased the question of forming National Parks equal to the International criteria. It has been decided to establish Borjomi, Erusheti, Eastern Caucasian, Iori, Svaneti-Racha-Lechkhumi, Kolkheti and Achara-Guria-Imereti "Regional National Parks". According to the decree of Georgian Cabinet of Ministers, auxiliary activities of formation of the protected territory systems were defined. The document forming Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park and its management plan was worked out with WWF 's assistance. Nowadays the management plan of the Eastern Caucasian and Iori highland's protected territories are under the development. With the support of the World Bank's Global Environment Fund , the activities for the establishment of the wetlands of International importance and protection of territories are ongoing.

113. The Biodiversity Economics Library
     the Handbook provides the business case for integrating biodiversity into corporate Fund(also an IUCN member) and the Japan Fund for Global environment.  
     http://biodiversityeconomics.org/
     
     Extractions: Without sufficient funding to finance effective management of marine resources, there is a great risk that marine protected areas may become little more than paper parks and that international agreements for managing marine resources may turn out to be little more than statements of good intentions. This guide describes over 30 mechanisms for financing marine conservation, both through raising revenues and providing economic incentives. Included with the descriptions are real examples of how these mechanisms have been implemented around the world. It is intended as a practical guide to familiarize conservation professionals with a menu of options to creatively and sustainably finance marine and coastal conservation.
