The rich diversity of biodiversity issues / Norman Myers

Public ISBD Accompagne Biodiversity II : Understanding and protecting our biological resources / Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Titre : The rich diversity of biodiversity issues Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Norman Myers, Auteur Année de publication : 1996 Importance : p 125-138 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : SCIENCES DE LA VIE Mots-clés : BIODIVERSITE  LAC  ZONE HUMIDE Résumé : Biodiversity question becomes more challenging and more prominent among scientists and the public as it is turning out to be a rich complex of interacting factors. In this chapter, the writer looks at a selection of these issues. While biodiversity and life itself is the key charasteristic of our planet, we know more about the total numbers of atoms in the universe than about the Earth’s complement of species. We spend more on exploring distant planets than on documenting the abundance and variety of life here on Earth. Scientific absurdity as this may be, taxonomists and systematists themselves are becoming an endangered entity. In fact, the one thing we know for certain about biodiversity is that it is declining at ever faster rates.
