New Biodiversity Reports and Facts from the Amazing Sustainable Table
While we’re on the topic of biodiversity studies, take a look at what Sustainable Table has to say. It covers global food and farming issues and presents some interesting resources from around the world, to read and reach out to, for your family, community, schools and businesses:
- United Nations Environment Programme, World Conservation Monitoring Centre
Provides a good general overview of the concept of biodiversity. - Australian Government, Department of the Environment and Heritage
Discusses the principles and values of genetic, species, and the importance of ecosystem diversity. - The ARK USA
Brought to you by Slow Food, The ARK is a project designed to preserve foods that are at risk of becoming ‘extinct’ – including rare varieties of fruits and vegetables, heritage breeds of animals, and foods created using increasingly uncommon methods of production. - The Center for Biodiversity and Conservation
From the American Museum of Natural History, the Center integrates scientific research, education, and outreach so that people, themselves major catalysts in the rapid loss of biodiversity, will become participants in its conservation.
