Achievements in 2010 eFLOWS: the quantity, timing, and quality of water flows required to sustain freshwater and the human well-being that depend on these ecosystems –Advancing this field of research –Research agenda Global threats to human water security & freshwater biodiversity –Press release & media campaign –Presentation at CBD COP10, Nagoya

C Vorosmarty, P McIntyre et al Nature

On-going activities AquaBase: determine the biophysical basis of freshwater ecosystems GEO BON freshwater biodiversity working group BioFresh Global Freshwater Consortium Collaborators: Margaret Palmer (USA), Stuart Bunn (Australia), Brad Cardinale (USA), Michael McClain (UNESCO-IHE - Netherlands), Jeanne Nel (SCIR - South Africa), Klement Tockner (BioFresh - EU) Focal Watersheds: Chesapeake Bay US), Mara (Kenya & Tanzania), Orange or Vaal (South Africa), undecided (Colombia SA), Murray-Darling (Australia) AquaBase

AquaBase conceptual framework Market-based Policies and Regulations Decisions, Natural resource Management Biophysical processes and Ecosystem features Ecosystem Services (social well-being) PEOPLE USE OR VALUE THIS Ecological Endpoints/Outcomes (measurable biophysically, meaningful socially) Ecological Production Function s Ecoservice Production Function s Information Incentives Economic Valuation

On-going activities AquaBase GEO BON freshwater biodiversity working group: –Symposium “Monitoring freshwater ecosystem change”, World Water Week BioFresh –Biodiversity database for EU countries –Research on dominant stressors Global Freshwater Consortium

On-going activities AquaBase GEO BON freshwater biodiversity working group: –Symposium “Monitoring freshwater ecosystem change”, World Water Week BioFresh –Biodiversity database for EU countries –Research on dominant stressors Global Freshwater Consortium 5 European countries & the Phillipines + 19 research institutes Fully funded and well under way

On-going activities BioFresh Build an information platform as a gateway for scientific research on freshwater biodiversity Online library Data portal – data bases, models, tools Various ‘work packages’ e.g., contemporary and historical biogeographic mapping, outreach & communications, climate change

On-going activities AquaBase GEO BON freshwater biodiversity working group BioFresh Global Freshwater Consortium: –Foster international coordination & collaborations to advance conservation and research on freshwater biodiversity & ecosystem services –Met in Barcelona in February 2011 Representatives: DIVERSITAS, BioFresh (EU), RESTORE (Sweden), Conservation International, GWSP, IUCN - Freshwater Biodiversity Unit, Wetlands International, FAO, UNESCO-Institute for Water Education, World Wildlife Fund

Global Freshwater Consortium Open group including major research and conservation organizations and research projects Formalization of the consortium - still under discussion if it will be informal/ad hoc or more formalized Potential activities: Census of Freshwater Life Global Freshwater Biodiversity Atlas – first follow-up meeting this year tentatively organized by Wetlands International Joint recommendations to FW managers and policy makers Planet under Pressure – 2 session proposals submitted

Conclusions Looking forward to the discussions on the DIVERSITAS strategic plan: –How freshwaterBIODIVERSITY will fit in the new structure? –Future activities of the group –SC-freshwaterBIODIVERSITY nominations; need for new chair IF existing structure continues Exciting new paper coming out soon by DIVERSITAS member Brad Cardinale (U Michigan) “ Biodiversity improves water quality through niche partitioning”
