Water is perhaps the most fundamental of all environmental resources and key to the viability and long term sustainability of the world's ecosystems.

And what he showed me and what he can show all of us, I think, is that the great thing for chefs, the great blessing for chefs, and for people that care about food and cooking, is that the most ecological choice for food is also the most ethical choice for food.

Destruction of ecosystems

Several reports point out that desertification assessment should be part of overall ecosystem assessment, on the basis of appropriate methodologies and suitable indicators.

The Committee may wish to make observations and recommendations, as deemed appropriate.

This document compiles and summarizes information on climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies in Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention.

(a) Protection and preservation of ecosystems

Other Parties indicated the need for institutional development and strengthening relating to water management.

States shall take all appropriate measures to protect the ecological integrity necessary to sustain ecosystems dependent on particular waters.

(a) Protecting vulnerable marine ecosystems

Many Parties, especially those that rely heavily on a single agricultural system, such as nomadic livestock husbandry (e.g. Mongolia) and atoll agriculture (e.g. Maldives), stated that the low productivity of their agricultural system will be exacerbated by the increased erosion and loss of soil fertility resulting from climate change and its adverse impact on groundwater.

Coastal zone and marine ecosystems Coral reef protection was the most common response option reported by many small island developing States to counter the adverse effects of climate change.

avoid lasting environmental damage and protect ecosystems

GE.05 62766 The MA prepared a report entitled Ecosystems and Human Well being Desertification Synthesis A Report of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment .

It was stated that the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and its synthesis report Human Well being and Ecosystem Services A Synthesis Report on Desertification provide a welcome and renewed focus on the socio economic significance of ecosystem services in the drylands.

The agreement covers all ecosystems, species, and genetic resources.

(d) To ensure conservation and, where necessary, restoration of ecosystems.

Water quality, ecosystem management and disaster prevention

Marine environment, marine resources and the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems

(g) Naturally occurring meso scale marine ecosystems

Taking note of the reports of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,

(g) Improving the protection and management of terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems

Coral reef ecosystems are invaluable human treasures.

This is true for ecosystems generally, and for oceans in particular.

Humans have fundamentally altered Earth s ecosystems.

She represented this party as a candidate for the presidency of France in the 2012 elections.

Ecosystem health is critical to the quantity and quality of water supply.

Another important theme of this Meeting is ensuring ecological sustainability.

The Panel does not consider lost catch as a reasonable measure for ecological loss.

Monitoring should relate to both ecological and economic parameters.

In some areas those activities are damaging the ecological systems of the Caribbean Sea.

The objective of the MA was to assess the consequences of ecosystem change for human well being and to establish the scientific basis for actions needed to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of ecosystems and their contributions to human well being.

That bold declaration is supported by the findings of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a comprehensive assessment of the state of the planet's ecosystems by nearly 1,400 leading experts from 95 countries.

The evolution of ecosystems, however, became a lasting research focus.

Forest conservation and protection of unique types of forests and fragile ecosystems

Collaboration between the Chemosynthetic Ecosystems Group and the Seamounts Group

Several threats to overall ecosystem health, and consequently to the ability of ecosystems to provide the materials upon which human life depends, are particularly relevant to water resources.

Neither the most gracious, nor the most ingenious, but perhaps the nicest.

Marine environment, marine resources, marine biodiversity and the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems

In the area of large marine eco systems, attention will be given to the Humboldt Current and the Gulf of Mexico.

Given the highly complex nature and rapid evolution of energy research and development, it is important that decision makers at all levels have access to the most recent and accurate scientific and technological information.

It is time for policies making ecological integrity supplant environmental devastation.

Desertification can also be avoided by reducing the stress on dryland ecosystems.

The Convention covers toxic and eco toxic, poisonous, explosive, corrosive, flammable, and infectious wastes.

In Colombia there are 32 terrestrial biomes and 314 types of ecosystems.
