Biodiversity conservation guidelines

Overview

How can the elements of wild nature -- its species, genetic traits, populations, habitats and ecosystems -- be maintained in landscapes that also need to produce material goods, environmental services, and the many cultural, aesthetic, and spiritual benefits that people everywhere want?

Governments and communities entering the 21st century must find answers to this fundamental question.

Immediate action is needed to defend our threatened living resources; to reform the policies that invite such losses; to conduct inventory and study of resource use in key ecosystems and countries; to monitor changes and impending threats; to better manage threatened protected areas; to mobilize funding; and to support national and grassroots conservation initiatives.
