Summary of Project
|
A challenging objective of the Convention on Biological Diversity is to reduce
the present rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. Moreover, evaluation of the success
of nation states in meeting this challenge requires using a suite of biodiversity
measures and an understanding of the degree to which these various measures
track each other across a range of biomes. The seed grant provided by APN will
bring the collaborating scientists and other stakeholders together in a scoping
workshop to discuss the most effective way of addressing this problem while
involving both scientists and policy-makers. The outcomes of the scoping workshop
will be a proposal for submission to APN in the Call for Proposals 2004.
