Millennium Ecosystem Assessment

In this way, it indexes the state of an ecosystem.

The implementation of an ecosystem approach to management is a complex task.

The main findings of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment include the following

Its basis is integrated oceans planning, founded on an ecosystem approach to management.

Some delegations underlined the need for a stronger ecosystem based focus.

The term ecosystem is more precise than the concept environment surrounding aquifers .

Recognizing also the need to further integrate ecosystem approaches into fisheries conservation and management and, more generally, the importance of applying ecosystem approaches to the management of human activities in the ocean,

They are related to several conditions of the land, in such a way that they can describe the system in a cost effective way.

My Government has shown that it is committed to eliminating IUU fishing in order to conserve the marine ecosystem.

The benefits of forest landscape restoration can be disseminated through the valuation of ecosystem goods and services, building on existing experience and knowledge, and the establishment of common rules between industrialized and non industrialized countries, according to the Latin American group.

This variability is driven by the degree of aridity combined with the pressure people put on the ecosystem's resources.

Further integration of ecosystem management goals within other sectors and broader development planning frameworks

One of the technical tools that requires priority attention is the ecosystem approach in oceans management.

POPs are also a threat to biodiversity, and even have the potential to cause disruption at the ecosystem level.

All of life is controlled by networks from the intracellular through the multicellular through the ecosystem level.

Post tsunami reconstruction provided the best chance of integrating ecosystem restoration into coastal planning and development.

Agriculture covers approximately one third of the world's land surface and farmers are the largest group of ecosystem managers.

Could we put it back in the throne of the king of beasts in Tasmania, restore that ecosystem?

Every part of the ecosystem in this place seems very healthy, from tiny, little animals like a nudibrank crawling over encrusting sponge or a leatherjacket that is a very important animal in this ecosystem because it grazes on the bottom and allows new life to take hold.

(d) The fact that 60 per cent of the ecosystem services examined by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment are being degraded or used unsustainably, including freshwater, capture fisheries, air and water purification and the regulation of regional and local climate, natural hazards and pests.

In order to do that, we must establish an integrated ecosystem based fisheries and oceans management system.

Therefore, farmers will be an integral part of ecosystem management designed to handle the burden brought on by climate change.

Notes the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Synthesis report and the urgent need to protect the marine biodiversity expressed therein

UNEP and Governments should further develop and implement research and analysis methodologies concerning valuation of ecosystem services.

In this zone, by law, economic activities must be compatible with the fragility of the tropical forest ecosystem.

Some delegations stressed the importance of the application of the ecosystem and precautionary approaches in the conservation and management of marine living resources.

The action plan will be a major tool in applying the ecosystem approach within the Baltic Sea ecoregion.

And what we're saying is that, shouldn't our cities do at least as well, in terms of ecosystem services, as the native systems that they replace?

That complicated topic requires a well managed debate and a clear delineation of the steps that will help us understand how to make ecosystem approaches a reality.

Sustainable forest management

A fireman for trees.

It has long been recognized that one of the most serious and extensive threats to the health of the marine ecosystem is pollution from land based sources.

We have had a series of meetings with the Secretary General's Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery and have submitted to him our proposals regarding the restoration of ecosystems in the Indian Ocean.

The LADA approach applies the integrated approach to ecosystem management at local, agro ecological zone, and national levels.

It is difficult to relate the provision of goods and services to biodiversity, as the link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is not clearly understood.90

In the heart of this ecosystem is the very antithesis of all of these values that we've been talking about, and I think these are some of the core values that make us proud to be Canadians.

The assessment is founded on a framework for conducting integrated agricultural assessments at local, national, regional and global scales, based on the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework.

By combining tissue engineering techniques with microfluidics, the field is actually evolving towards just that, a model of the entire ecosystem of the body, complete with multiple organ systems to be able to test how a drug you might take for your blood pressure might affect your liver or an antidepressant might affect your heart.
