Humanity’s fate is tightly linked with biological diversity – the variety of life on earth. Biodiversity is essential for sustainable development and human well-being.

Convention of Biological Diversity

The examples are plenty:
  • Biodiversity is a vital asset in global and local economies
  • Food production depends on biodiversity and the services provided by ecosystems
  • Clean and secure supplies of water also depend on biodiversity
  • Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning provide goods and services essential for human health – including nutrients, clean air and water and regulation of pests and vector-based diseases
  • Biodiversity is the basis for sustainable livelihoods
  • Traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity is also important and has value not only to those who depend on it in their daily lives but to modern industry and agriculture as well
  • Biodiversity is the cornerstone of the work, belief systems and basic survival of many women
  • Biodiversity plays a major role in mitigating climate change by contributing to long-term sequestration of carbon in a number of biomes
  • Even the built environments of our cities are linked to and affected by biodiversity

    Autora

    Im Blog zu oralab habe ich seit dem März 2013 fast täglich über kulturelle Phänomene, gesellschaftliche und individuelle Entwicklung(en), sowie die Fülle des ALLtags geschrieben.

    Aktuell berichte ich über die unbefristete Pilgerschaft mit meinem Mann Sesto auf www.thegreenpilgrims.ch

    Viel Freude beim Lesen
