Conservation status & threats Instructor

Question 1

human dimension of conservation

Answer 1

conservation responses are shaped by:

-normative views about the relationship between humans and non-humans
-values and desired objectives
-institutions and governance
-normative ideas are important-they create concrete outcomes

Question 2

ethical perspective

Answer 2

-anthropocentric

-biocentric

Question 3

anthropocentric

Answer 3

-nature has value for humans ends and use

-it has value because humans assign value to it

-instrumental value

Question 4

biocentric

Answer 4

-nature has value unto itself,regardless of its value to humans

-value is independent of humans

-instrinsic value

Question 5

what is biological diversity

Answer 5

-variability among living organisms

Question 6

the three levels of biodiversity

Answer 6

-species diversity
-genetic diversity
-ecosystem diversity

Question 7

species diverty

Answer 7

incluedes all species on earth

ex:dogs

ex:animal,fungi,plants,bacteria

Question 8

genetic diversity

Answer 8

genetic variation within species,both among different populations and individuals within a population

ex:golden and shapred

Question 9

ecosystem diversity

Answer 9

different biological communities and their associations with the abiotic enviroment

Question 10

we know very little

Answer 10

we think 10 million exists

1.5 million species have been identify and clarified

86% of land species and 91% of marine species remain undiscovered

Question 11

what is happening of biodiversity

Answer 11

-decline
-possibly in the sixth mass extensisions episode
-loss of genetic variability (even domesticated species)

Question 12

Living Planet Index(LPI)

Answer 12

-measures the state of global biodiversity

-based on population trends

-about 5,2000 species and more than 32,000 populations of vertebrates

-indicator adopted by the CBD

Answer 13

global data = 69% decline in population (1970-2018)

more/the most decline in latin america

decline the most fresh water LPI

not all population are decresing

Question 14

why is biodiversity declining

Answer 14

direct threat includes:
1.deforestation,habitat loss and habitat fragmentgation
2.pollution
3.overexplotation
4.invasive species
climate change (not yet)

Question 15

LPI

Answer 15

underestimate data in tropicals

Question 16

l

Answer 16

LPI meausre state of species based on population
strenght:track population around the world
limitation:time consuming,not all parts of the world are represented-the parts with more species,it dosnt involve non- vertabretes (plants,bacteria,fungui!!!
