Environment-Biodiversity Protection and SDG 15 (Life on Land)

Practice, progress, and proficiency in sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 259 - 282

Опубликована: Авг. 27, 2024

Land ecosystems provide a range of products, such as food, energy, and construction materials, in addition to essential services like carbon sequestration, soil quality maintenance, habitat supply for biodiversity, water flow management, erosion control. To maintain the diversity life on land, targeted efforts that preserve, restore, promote preservation sustainable use terrestrial other are required. Preventing loss successfully halting desertification, stopping reversing land degradation, managing forests sustainably main objectives SDG Goal 15. These need be protected order properly reduce adapt climate change. This chapter examines potential problems related Sustainable Development 15 (Life Land) by examining connections between environment, legal frameworks, biodiversity conservation.

An assessment of the state of conservation planning in Europe

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 379(1902)

Опубликована: Апрель 7, 2024

Expanding and managing current habitat species protection measures is at the heart of European biodiversity strategy. A structured approach needed to gain insights into such issues systematic conservation planning, which uses techniques from decision theory identify places actions that contribute most effectively policy objectives given a set constraints. Yet culturally historically determined landscapes make implementation any plans challenging, requiring an analysis synergies trade-offs before implementation. In this work, we review scientific literature for evidence previous planning approaches, highlighting recent advances success stories. We find conceptual characteristics studies likely reduced their potential in contributing better-informed decisions. outline pathways towards improving uptake multi-criteria various scales, particularly need (a) open data intuitive tools, (b) integration biodiversity-focused with multiple objectives, (c) accounting dynamic ecological processes functions, (d) better facilitation entry-points co-design practices scenarios stakeholders. By adopting these practices, might become more actionable adaptable implementable outcomes. This article part theme issue ‘Ecological novelty planetary stewardship: dynamics transforming biosphere’.
