     Extractions: About PLT Join PLT Curriculum GreenWorks! ... Home This secondary module uses biodiversity as a window through which secondary students investigate the environment. It permits educators and students to step back from specific issues and species and to examine broader concepts and larger connections—not just biological, but political, cultural, ethical, and economic as well. Students will learn that decisions about growth and development, about energy use and water quality, even about health, all rest to some extent on perspectives about biodiversity. Exploring Environmental Issues: Biodiversity was developed by Project Learning Tree (PLT) in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) . Educators are permitted to download, print, and use any of the following online materials ( "The global invaders section of the biodiversity module is great! Some valuable, interdisciplinary concepts [are there] to convey ideas to secondary students that shouldn't wait until college." Dr. Nita Davidson, CA Department of Pesticide Regulation "Really good development of biodiversity concepts and promotion of living sustainable lifestyles."

     Extractions: Home About TDWG Getting Started Standards ... Glossary The most widely deployed formats for biodiversity occurrence data are Darwin Core wiki ) and ABCD wiki ). New deployments of these and other XML based formats should use the TAPIR exchange protocol. The TDWG community's priority is the deployment of Life Science Identifiers (LSID), the preferred Globally Unique Identifier technology and transitioning to RDF encoded metadata as defined by a set of simple vocabularies . All new projects should address the need for tagging their data with LSIDs and consider the use or development of appropriate vocabularies. TDWG's activities within the biodiversity informatics domain can be found in the Activities section of this website. Please consider becoming a member . TDWG needs everyone with a strong interest in biodiversity information to participate in developing effective standards for sharing that information. We need IT professionals, taxonomists, ecologists, geoscientists, and librarians. We need members from institutions and agencies that do or could use our standards to make their data more usable. Your participation ensures that what we develop will save you time and money There are three ways to join TDWG- Institutional members are entitled to up to five discounted registrations at the annual conference.

     Extractions: What is Biodiversity and Why is it Important? Biodiversity is the variability of all living organisms including animal and plant species of the genes of all these organisms, and of the terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems of which they are part. Biodiversity makes up the structure of the ecosystems and habitats that support essential living resources, including wildlife, fisheries and forests. It helps provide for basic human needs such as food, shelter, and medicine. It composes ecosystems that maintain oxygen in the air, enrich the soil, purify the water, protect against flood and storm damage and regulate climate. Biodiversity also has recreational, cultural, spiritual and aesthetic values. Society's growing consumption of resources and increasing populations have led to a rapid loss of biodiversity, eroding the capacity of earth's natural systems to provide essential goods and services on which human communities depend. Human activities have raised the rate of extinction to 1,000 times its usual rate. If this continues, Earth will experience the sixth great wave of extinctions in billions of years of history. Already, an estimated two of every three bird species are in decline worldwide, one in every eight plant species is endangered or threatened, and one-quarter of mammals, one-quarter of amphibians and one-fifth of reptiles are endangered or vulnerable.

127. Research: The Sabah Biodiversity Experiment - The Royal Society SEARRP, Danum Va
     SEARRP is trying to understand the possible impacts of the loss of tree biodiversity in tropical forest ecosystems.  
     http://www.searrp.org/research_sabah_biodiversity.cfm
     
     Extractions: The rainforests of SE Asia support much of the region's biodiversity, play a crucial role in the provision of key ecosystem services and are an important source of income at both national and local levels. Forest conversion, degradation through unsustainable logging practices and slash-and-burn cultivation are simultaneously having a serious impact on both biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. There is considerable interest in the restoration of the degraded forests of SE Asia by enrichment planting of indigenous tree species. However, tree diversity in areas subject to enrichment planting can be much lower than in neighbouring areas of primary forest. What are the ecological consequences of this reduction in biodiversity? Aims In order to understand the possible impacts of the loss of tree biodiversity in tropical forest ecosystems it is of critical importance that long-term monitoring and experimental programmes are established. The NERC Centre for Population Biology, University of Zurich, the Royal Society South East Asia Rainforest Research Programme and the Malaysian forestry company Innoprise Corporation, are establishing a large-scale forest biodiversity experiment in the rainforest of Sabah, Malaysia.

Ecosystem Challenges and Business Implications, published by Earthwatch, WRI, WBCSD and the IUCN warns that companies must transform business models and operations if they are to avoid major economic losses caused by the current degradation of ecosystems and the vital services they provide. 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.
