Biodiversity

Biodivesity loss has been identified as one of nine "planetary boundaries", limits that if exceeded could result in catastrophic environmental change.                   



 

"Despite repeated global commitments to protect the planet's species and habitats, the variety of life continues to decline at an unprecedented rate, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned today ( 22 May 2010 ), urging action to curb the root causes of biodiversity decline."








Step by step, linked explanation of the evidence and importance of biodiversity loss.

About Me

My Photo
George
Perth, WA, Australia
..is a GP in a small medical practice in Shenton Park, with an active interest in environmental issues and their relationship to our personal and community health. Perhaps having kids, or perhaps watching the unfolding epidemic of diabetes and other diseases resulting from our unhealthy lifestyle, so clearly evident in my clinical life, has prompted my activism. I am now involved in a number of groups and organisations, with interests in renewable energy, climate change and health and social justice. Our corporate, growth-orientated, fossil fuel driven consumption is so patently unsustainable and unjust, that change is not just imperative, it is inevitable. And without foresight, planning urgent action, at a community and government level, the consequences are likely to be devastating. For fun and sanity, and now that my soccer days are over, I play keyboards in a rock band.
