Biodiversity is all around us! In this video we introduce you to the concept of biodiversity. It is more than just the total number of species, however. It describes diversity at all levels from genetic diversity to ecosystem diversity. Yet we are loosing biodiversity. We pose the question, "What can each of us do to help save what is left?"

Understanding biodiversity allows us to better help the earth's animals and plants to survive and thrive. It also provides humans with insights to use this diversity in new and less harmful ways. You'll see - even the smallest creature is important.
We know that biodiversity is important but what exactly is it? Find out what celebrities and members of British wildlife groups understand by the term.
SALE TODAY: Learn Piano on iOS bit.ly Mahalo biology expert Mary Poffenroth explains the definition of "biodiversity." Understanding the Term --------------------------------------------------------------------- Biodiversity is a word that is used to describe the differences between individuals, species and environments. These differences are what make up the term biodiversity. The strict definition of biodiversity is the life differences or variations. The word itself is made up of the two smaller words, "bio" and "diversity." The word "bio" means life, while the word "diversity" indicates differences or variations.www.youtube.com Different Levels of Biodiversity --------------------------------------------------------------------- Genetic diversity refers to differences within a species. This can be seen in the differences in appearance from individual to individual. This can include eye color, hair color, height and build in humans. Species diversity is the difference between one species and another. This can be as close as the dog to the wolf, or it can be as far apart as the cat to the human. Having a wide variety of different species in an area is a sign of good biodiversity. Ecosystem diversity are the differences between one environment to another environment. An example of this would be the differences between a rainforest and a desert, a grass plain to the ocean.www.youtube.com Importance of Biodiversity <b>...</b>

What follows is a small collection of the vast amount of diversity present on planet Earth. Given the recent recognition of Global Climate Change it is imperative to understand that this will have consequences. The Biodiversity Ecosystem Functioning problem is still in its infancy, but science is working hard to understand this issue. It is nevertheless important to remember that even though science does not yet comprehend the intricate biological dynamics, this is not an excuse for not taking the problem seriously. Get engaged - make a difference. Remember that our future is their present.

Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 Official video. Global Biodiversity Outlook is the flagship publication of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The publication concludes: The action taken over the next decade or two, and the direction charted under the Convention on Biological Diversity, will determine whether the relatively stable environmental conditions on which human civilization has depended for the past 10000 years will continue beyond this century. If we fail to use this opportunity, many ecosystems on the planet will move into new, unprecedented states in which the capacity to provide for the needs of present and future generations is highly uncertain.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES | www.newschool.edu Did you know that there is nature in New York City? The five boroughs are rich with forests, marshes, and meadows -- more nature than any other city in North America. Yet these natural resources are threatened by habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation - the same factors that threaten biodiversity everywhere. In fact, about one-third of the native flora and fauna in the United States faces extinction. In our urbanized world, the idea of cities as "concrete jungles" is inaccurate and only further alienates people from the natural world. Conserving and maintaining the ecosystems on which cities depend is essential to the health, wellbeing, and quality of life of their citizens. Tishman Environment and Design Center | www.newschool.edu This panel will discuss the status of urban ecology in regional policies and national trends and will examine how cities can develop comprehensive, collaborative, and proactive strategies for biodiversity conservation, management and restoration through government policies, public education, grassroots initiatives, business strategies and living systems design.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam finds itself at a critical juncture in current efforts to survey and identify its rich floral and faunal resources, and to conserve them for coming generations. Stretching more than 1650 kilometers north to south along Tonkin Bay and the South China Sea, Vietnam encompasses three major biogeographic zones, four Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs), and a wide variety of unique habitats. Because of its size, location, and the historical interaction of complex topographic, climatic and ecological factors, the country has high levels of both species diversity and endemism. Vietnam is currently recognized as having a significant proportion of rare and endemic species from both regional and global conservation perspectives. Vietnam's people and natural resources face many of the same pressures and threats as other developing countries at the start of the 21st Century. A growing population of almost 80 million people, the flowering of an open market economy, and accompanying increases in deforestation rates and the wildlife trade threaten the preservation of Vietnam's unique biodiversity. Today, many of Vietnam's native plants and animals are threatened or endangered by these combined pressures: the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species ranking of countries with the largest number of threatened species placed Vietnam 6th, 15th and 18th for reptiles, mammals and birds, respectively. Vietnam is strongly committed to the conservation of its biodiversity <b>...</b>

Earth is home to an estimated 10 to100 million species but 250 years of study has formally described fewer than two million of them. The International Barcode of Life (iBOL) project includes biodiversity scientists from 26 countries working to identify every species on the planet using short snippets of DNA. Over the next 5 years, they are hoping to process 5 million specimens and they need your help! Students and youth from around the world, along with local scientists at colleges and universities, will participate in a collaborative social networking educational game in a race to identify and assign unique DNA barcodes to as many species as possible.

Complete video at: fora.tv Poverty or environmental degradation: which should society address first? According to economist Pavan Sukhdev, the issue is not that simple. He explains that declining biodiversity (frequently a result of industrial development) has a disproportionately large impact on the poor. ----- Environmental damage is already costing us trillions a year, according to Pavan Sukhdev, head of the UN Green Economy Initiative. Sukhdev applies numbers to things that nature does for free -- like purifying drinking water, supplying food and fuel, protecting coasts from storms, and generally keeping humans alive and healthy. The cost of the global financial crisis stunned the world, with an estimated $862 billion in direct government bailouts alone. After years of running down our natural capital, are we getting close to an environmental version of the credit crunch? Climate change has been grabbing most of the headlines in recent years, but we are now up against many environmental limits at once. Sukhdev looks at what this tells us about the limitations of our economic system and how it needs to change. The pioneering economist (who also works for Deutsche Bank) describes what the global economy would look like with nature on the balance sheet. His talk was presented by the Centre for Policy Development at the Sydney Opera House. Afterwards, he joined a panel consisting of leading business people, climate change advocates and scientists. - Australian <b>...</b>

Agenda 21 outlines, in detail, the UN's vision for a centrally managed global society. This contract binds governments around the world to the United Nation's plan for controlling the way we live, eat, learn, move and communicate - all under the noble banner of saving the earth. Thanks to Labyrinthoftruth for video: www.youtube.com If fully implemented, Agenda 21 would have the government involved in every aspect of life of every human on earth. Agenda 21 spreads it tentacles from Governments, to federal and local authorities, and right down to community groups. Chapter 28 of Agenda 21 specifically calls for each community to formulate its own Local Agenda 21: "Each local authority should enter into a dialogue with its citizens, local organizations, and private enterprises to formulate 'a Local Agenda 21.' Through consultation and consensus-building, local authorities would learn from citizens and from local, civic, community, business and industrial organizations and acquire the information needed for formulating the best strategies." - Agenda 21, Chapter 28, sec 1.3 Read the original here green-agenda.com Interestingly, in April 1991, fourteen months before Earth Summit, Prince Charles held a private two day international conference aboard the royal yacht Britannia, moored off the coast of Brazil.
