Biodiversity conservation and utilisation in Sarawak

Cranbrook Earl of, . (2010) Biodiversity conservation and utilisation in Sarawak. [Proceedings Paper]

Sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP the 1992 Convention on Biogical Diversity CBD was the first international instrument to regulate the management of ecosystems habitats and species within a holistic framework. Adherent states have both responsibilities and opportunities for sustainable utilisation of the global biodiversity resource. Situated within one of the most important global biodiversity hotspots these complementary factors are especially relevant for Sarawak. Since 2003 faced with the growing world biodiversity crisis UNEP has promoted Planetary Biodiversity Inventories PBI. These include both global programmes to discover identify and list all species of selected taxonomic groups e.g. amphibians catfish flies and a so national inventories of biota e.g. the Swedish All Taxa Initiative. These and other examples of CBD-related actions will be examined in order to provide a background against which Sarawak;s own initiatives can be evaluated during the Symposium.

Abstract

Sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP the 1992 Convention on Biogical Diversity CBD was the first international instrument to regulate the management of ecosystems habitats and species within a holistic framework. Adherent states have both responsibilities and opportunities for sustainable utilisation of the global biodiversity resource. Situated within one of the most important global biodiversity hotspots these complementary factors are especially relevant for Sarawak. Since 2003 faced with the growing world biodiversity crisis UNEP has promoted Planetary Biodiversity Inventories PBI. These include both global programmes to discover identify and list all species of selected taxonomic groups e.g. amphibians catfish flies and a so national inventories of biota e.g. the Swedish All Taxa Initiative. These and other examples of CBD-related actions will be examined in order to provide a background against which Sarawak;s own initiatives can be evaluated during the Symposium.
