Extractions: "This land is the place where we know where to find all that it provides for usfood from hunting and fishing, and farms, building and tool materials, medicines. This land keeps us together within its mountains: we come to understand that we are not just a few people or separate villages, but one people belonging to a homeland." (The Akawaio Indians, Upper Mazaruni District, Guyana) Even if most of Earth's remaining natural ecosystems could be protected from development, they could not adequately maintain biodiversity. The remaining wild is simply not large enough to meet all species' habitat needs or to provide important ecological services, and many of these still-natural ecosystems will inevitably be transformed by human use in coming decades. Clearly, the success of biodiversity conservation will depend upon how well the overall landscape is managed to minimize biodiversity loss. Human needs and activities must be reconciled with the maintenance of biodiversity, and protected areas must be integrated into natural and modified surroundings. Farms, forests, grazing areas, fisheries, and villages belong on the same planning grid as land restoration projects, protected areas, and species-conservation efforts. The scale of such efforts must be tailored to both ecological processes and the needs and perceptions of local communities. This integrative approach is here termed

http://www.alreem.com/biodiversity/index.stm

Extractions: Scientists have identified more than 1.5 million species of organisms in the world. There are many more species-awaiting discoveries. These organisms actually dominate our planet and our lives. The diversity of nature represents a continuous flow of knowledge, resources, beauty, heritage and pleasure. Living organisms exist in natural habitats and ecosystems all over the planet earth. It is known that man is responsible for the decline and the extinction of many plbut and animal species by his continuing damaging effects on nature. Throughout time, humans affected vegetation cover and species diversity due to interference. Overgrazing, deforestation, and hunting are examples of reasons for the spread of the desert and the extinction of some native animals. Globally, the risk of extinction for all animal and plant species is evaluated against a comprehensive global standard developed by the IUCN Species Survival Commotion. This standard sets thresholds by which species are identified as
Urban Bushland - Declaration Of Interdependence - David Suzuki - 23 January 1998
The crucial facts on which the environment movement is based.

Extractions: Summary: David Suzuki's Declaration of Interdependence gives voice to the crucial facts on which the environment movement is based. Date: 23 January 1998 This We Know We are the earth, through the plants and animals that nourish us. We are the rains and the oceans that flow through our veins. We are the breath of the forests of the land and the plants of the sea. We are human animals, related to all other life as descendants of the firstborn cell. We share a common present, filled with uncertainty. And we share a common future as yet untold. We humans are but one of 30 million species weaving the thin layer of life enveloping the world. The stability of communities of living things depends on this diversity. Linked in that web, we are interconnected - using, cleansing. sharing and replenishing the fundamental elements of life. Our home, planet Earth, is finite; all life shares its resources and the energy from the sun and therefore has limits to growth. For the first time, we have touched those limits.
