Conference of the Parties shall support the GTI
A report from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from COP7
, 9 to 20 February in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the 7th Conference of the Parties (VSK7 "COP7) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (Convention on Biological Diversity, CBD) in its place. The Convention aims at a comprehensive approach to sustainable development and identifies the three main objectives:
* The protection and conservation of biodiversity,
* The sustainable use of its components,
* A fair and equitable sharing arising from utilization of genetic resources resulting benefits.
These objectives will be the conference of States Parties and new resolutions and work plans developed. Prepare more politically oriented meetings via conference of SBSTTA, the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice. " In general, two SBSTTAs between VSKs place, the last SBSTTA took place in Montreal in November 2003 and was used to prepare the current SVD in Malaysia.
One issue that all deliberations of VSK7 moved, is, as the jargon means, Meta'2010. This means that the significant reduction in the extinction of organisms by 2010. Set or has been decided in this VSK6 (decision VI/26), in 2002, ie 10 years after the entry into force of the Convention. The 2010 target was subsequently developed by the World Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg, 2002, affirmed.
This issue is in the following two sections, it is clear the importance of taxonomy. Because only if you know what it is, you can tell how high it is actually the extinction, and what the agencies most urgently need to be protected.
GTI - Global Taxonomy Initiative
In VSK7 decision to adopt a new GTI (UNEP/CBD/COP/7/L/12) the crucial importance of taxonomy for the 2010 target "is highlighted. It was emphasized that only through broad promotion of taxonomic training and capacity building is accessible. Supporters, including the GEF and the States, especially a greater commitment, especially in developing countries invited. Another new feature is that only the taxonomy, not only as part of another research project or conservation project should be encouraged.
The positive response to this decision GTI is reflected not only in its design and quick and easy vote, but also in the variety of speakers - a total of 31 - the countries rich in biodiversity, but also the EU and the strong influence GTI of other thematic areas and cross-cutting themes of the CBD.
Whenever it comes to protecting biological diversity and its changes over time to monitor (the monitor), when it comes to protection, there is a good taxonomic base is crucial.
Therefore, the GTI in decisions PRTOTECTED AREAS (SPAs), MOUNTAIN BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY (Biodiversity of the Mountains), GLOBAL STRATEGY FOR PLANT CONSERVATION GSPC (which later), the biological diversity of ecosystems inland (the biodiversity of inland waters), Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) and marine and coastal biodiversity (ocean and coastal biodiversity), with a single.
In this context it could also be compared with the German authorities and the (funding) institutions will be held: for COP7 confirms once more the taxonomy crucial, if not the cornerstone of the protection and use of biodiversity, including Argrarbiodiversität is. A statement that should be using.
"Events"
In several events outside the conference, the "events" have a number of National Contact Points for the opportunity to present their work. In particular, the Belgian colleagues were able to report on a program with about 300,000 euros a year and is equipped with a taxonomic approach in developing countries have to be trained.
This training is partly taking place in Belgium, and so is the taxonomy and local institutions to benefit. With adequate support by the BMU and BMZ / GTZ certainly a model for Germany. Contacts in countries rich in biodiversity in the world, there are a variety of projects, such as SHIFT and BIOTA (Atlantic) and. Increases could taxa involved.
In the same event was Jim Edwards, the current status of the activities of GBIF. Meanwhile, there are 8 million, the next day it had 10 million records available online. Certainly not by typing overnight, but through the networking of existing databases that would otherwise - in their lack of standardized data - at best, scattered, although Worst is not accessible through the Internet beaten.
Other speakers came from the Secretariat of the CBD, ASEANET, BioNet-International, SABONET, IUCN and rounded to the range.
GSPC
What is the GSPC? GLOBAL STRATEGY FOR PLANT CONSERVATION (Global Strategy for Plant Conservation) were - as the GTI - VSK6 in 2002 in The Hague, NL, decided, and it was - again as the GTI - a decision (UNEP / CBD / COP / 7/L/15) further strengthened.
The protection of plant life to be a total of 16 targets, with the understanding and documentation of the plant world, the first three objectives are dedicated to:
1) a list of all plants as a step towards a complete world flora;
2) a preliminary assessment of the risk level of all plants known at the national, regional and international
3) the development of examples (protocols) for crop protection and sustainable use, based on research and practical experience.
The importance of these objectives for the taxonomic community is evident. The GSPC has become an important part of corporate taxonomy, and perhaps more important as a model for other areas could represent all the other goals as the basis for understanding and inventory of the plant world. Creating a world of flora, therefore, not recognized as a scientific body and important international treaty binding on states.
