Presentation transcript:

1. Map global ecosystems and create an inventory of the species contained in each of them and the ecosystem services they provide. 2. Locate and protect the most endangered ecosystems and species, with emphasis on protecting plant biodiversity and ecosystem services. 3. Seek and restore as many degraded ecosystems as possible. 4. Make developments biodiversity-friendly by providing significant financial incentives and technical help to private landowners who agree to help protect endangered ecosystems.

 Biodiversity hotspots are areas especially rich in plant species that are found nowhere else and are in great danger of extinction.  They suffer serious ecological disruption, mostly because of rapid human population growth and the resulting pressure on natural resources.

 It was a four year study by 1,360 experts from 95 countries.  It identified key ecosystem services that provide numerous ecological and economical benefits.  Showed that humans are degrading and overusing 62% of human and natural services.

 Rehabilitation = turning a degraded ecosystem into a functional or useful ecosystem without trying to restore it to its original condition.  Restoration = returning a particular degraded habitat or ecosystem to a condition as similar as possible to its natural state.  Replacement = replacing a degraded ecosystem with another type of ecosystem.  Artificial ecosystems = creating artificial wetlands to help reduce flooding or to treat sewage.

 Identify what caused the degradation, such as pollution, farming, overgrazing, invasive species.  Stop the abuse by eliminating or sharply reducing these factors, including removing toxic soil pollutants, preventing fires.  If necessary, reintroduce species – especially pioneer, keystone, and foundation species – to help restore natural ecological processes.  Protect the area from further degradation.
