 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda Building on IPBES Science, Researchers Identify Four Areas to Strengthen Sustainable Wildlife Trade English (396) A new paper published in the September 2023 edition of the Journal of Environmental Management has identified four core areas that must be strengthened for a better approach to wildlife trade and monitoring.

Titled "Determining the sustainability of legal wildlife trade," in the study, authors highlight the finding from the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment that exploitation of wildlife is the second greatest threat to global diversity and its vital contributions to people.

The authors provide 183 examples showing unsustainable trade in a broad range of taxonomic groups and calling for enacting changes in regulatory frameworks, deeming them "essential to the continued survival of many threatened species." These are: (1) rigorous data collection and analyses of populations; (2) linking trade quotas to IUCN and international accords; (3) improved databases and compliance of trade; and (4) enhanced understanding of trade bans, market forces, and species substitutions.

"Given that wildlife exploitation is a major driver of biodiversity loss (IPBES et al., 2019), demand-related information is urgently required to determine sustainability," cited the authors.

 Tue, 27/09/2022 Fernando Neda Colombia Develops National Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services with Guidance from IPBES Spanish (399) Providing a first-ever panorama, Colombia developed an assessment of the past, present and future of the country's fauna and flora, as well as its terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The 2,000-page 'National Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services' was launched by the Humboldt Institute with the support of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

The report was prepared by 106 authors, who participated independently as part of the Capacity Building for National Ecosystem Assessments: Linking Science and Policy and Biodiversity, and it also includes contributions from the Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net) initiative.

The evaluation gathers strategic data on the status and trends of biological diversity linked to the well-being of Colombians, evidencing trajectories of change and possible futures, which will be valid until 2050. For nearly four years, the researchers dedicated at least 93,000 hours of volunteer work to collect and analyze more than 1,500 sources of secondary scientific information, associated with terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, marine and insular ecosystems.

Indigenous, black, Afro-descendant, Palenquero, Raizal, peasant and local peoples and communities from all regions of Colombia were involved in the development of six thematic chapters that review the state of biodiversity in Colombia.

 Thu, 09/02/2023 Fernando Neda IPBES Global Assessment Findings Used in WEF Briefing Paper on Biodiversity Credits English (396) A new briefing paper by the World Economic Forum cites the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, mentioning in its introduction that "Human activity is eroding the world’s ecological foundations. Over 1 million species are at risk of extinction, one third of the world’s topsoil has been degraded, forest fires are now more extensive and destructive than at any time in the past 10,000 years and 50% of the world’s coral reefs are destroyed."

The paper, titled “Biodiversity Credits: Unlocking Financial Markets for Nature-Positive Outcomes,” is the output of past months’ deliberation with the Working Group on Biodiversity Credits. The paper points out that biodiversity credits are part of a company’s nature-positive journey –an investment in nature’s recovery, rather than an offset for damages.

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda New Research Argues Population Growth Is Not The Main Driver of Biodiversity Loss Based on IPBES Global Scientific Consensus English (396) Researchers have used IPBES Global Assessment and the Sustainable Use of Wild Species Assessment findings to illustrate how the belief that human population growth is the main cause of biodiversity is erroneous.

"...Inequitable consumption drives global biodiversity loss, whilst population is used to scapegoat responsibility. Instead, the responsibilities are clear and have recently been summarized by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services IPBES: Leverage points for biodiversity conservation lie in reducing unsustainable consumption through diet shifts, tracking supply chains, and technological innovation as well as ensuring sustainable production to reduce biodiversity losses associated with industrial agriculture," state the authors.

By examining the drivers of biodiversity loss in highly biodiverse countries, researchers argue that population growth is not the primary factor behind habitat loss. Instead, the growth of commodities for export, such as soybean and oil-palm, primarily for livestock feed or biofuel consumption in wealthier economies, plays a significant role. Inequitable consumption patterns drive global biodiversity loss, while population is often used as a scapegoat to shift responsibility.

The paper was published in the January 2023 (Volume 277) edition of the Biological Conservation journal.

 Thu, 20/10/2022 Fernando Neda IPBES Conceptual Framework Applied in Participatory Assessment on Nature, People and Sustainability at Mount Kilimanjaro English (396) Organized in the form of a participatory workshop with five different groups of stakeholders, researchers have applied the IPBES conceptual framework in assessment of local perspectives on nature, people and sustainability at Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Researchers assembled information on the state of and trends in species diversity, Nature's Contributions to People (NCP), and on the main drivers of changes in species and habitats. Additionally, gathering perspectives on the needs and opportunities for the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources from the individual to the international level.

According to the researchers, "the application of the IPBES framework enabled the comparability needed for developing narratives of stakeholder visions that can help identify new pathways towards sustainability and guide planning while retaining the context-based nuances that remain unresolved with non-participatory methods." Based on this experience, researchers concluded that "the IPBES framework can be effectively adopted for the mobilization of non-academic knowledge on the relationship between nature and people and that it represents a useful methodological tool to scale up the participatory assessments of local perspectives on social–ecological systems."

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda IPBES Science 'Instrumental' in Development of UNESCO Guidance for African Biosphere Reserves English (396) IPBES has been "instrumental" in the development of a new manual for decision-makers, managers and stakeholders of African biosphere reserves, and beyond, according to António Abreu, Director of UNESCO's Division of Ecological and Earth Sciences. "Filling a gap in the Man and the Biosphere community and beyond, [the] manual [provides] its readers with the necessary tools and knowledge to engage their communities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals," states the publication.

Funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office, "Guidance for the assessment of ecosystem services in African Biosphere Reserves: a way forward to sustainable development," was developed based on a cooperation between UNESCO and the Capacities for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development (CEBIOS) programme of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science. "For the first time, a specific, user-friendly manual dedicated to assess ecosystem services was created for biosphere reserve managers and decision-makers, and adapted to the African biosphere reserve context."

Building on several IPBES reports, as well as its Conceptual Framework, the manual highlights how the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment underlines "the need for improved understanding of the interactions between ecosystem services and the goals and targets to end poverty and hunger and to enhance people’s well-being."

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda German Hunters Use IPBES Science to Advocate for Better Measures to Control Invasive Alien Species German (435) The German Hunters Association (DJV) has called on the "federal and state governments to better coordinate management measures for invasive species in the future and commit to hunting as a tool for species protection."

Citing the IPBES Assessment on Invasive Alien Species and their Control, the DJV stated: "Only recently, [IPBES] pointed out the negative, sometimes irreversible effects of invasive alien species on biological diversity: along with habitat loss, they are one of the five main causes of global species loss."

"Current political measures for management and their implementation are inadequate and there is an urgent need for action," it continued. Focusing on raccoons, the DJV claims that planned restrictions on hunting in Rhineland-Palatinate and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania endanger biodiversity and that the species benefits from the ban on trapping.

 Thu, 30/11/2023 Fernando Neda IPBES Science at Heart of Guardian Newspaper's Initiative to Include Biodiversity Amongst its Editorial Priorities English (396) The influential UK-based Guardian newspaper updated its editorial climate pledge to include nature and biodiversity. For this major editorial revision, and intending to ensure that biodiversity is also placed at the heart of their work in the way that climate was a few years back, the publication launched a large news feature. The reports focuses on what the world might look like in 2050 if we do not take the necessary action on biodiversity.

The article concentrates on the five main drivers of biodiversity loss identified by IPBES: land and sea use change, direct exploitation of natural resources, climate change, pollution and invasive species. As such, The Guardian requested perspectives from IPBES experts from different backgrounds, geographies and genders.

IPBES science, particularly from the 2019 Global Assessment and the 2023 Invasive Alien Species Assessment, was not only cited in the article, but it led Guardian to commission it, marking the newspaper's commitment to including biodiversity and related issues amongst its editorial priorities.

IPBES authors and/or experts quoted in the news piece include Sandra Diaz, Emma Archer, Anibal Pauchard, Hanno Seebens, Peter Stoett, Unai Pascual, Jean-Marc Fromentin, Josef Settele and Eduardo Brondizio.

The document builds on discussions that have taken place over the last decade between the IUCN CEESP-SSC Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group and the IUCN SSC Red List Committee and draws on experience from the IPBES ILK Approach. Indeed the IPBES Global Assessment (GA) was the first global scale assessment to engage systematically with ILK. The document refers to IPBES' work which has influenced and informed this process by IUCN. Moreover, various IPBES experts and knowledge holders have contributed to this document, including Marla R. Emery, Flore Lafaye de Micheaux and Phil Lyver.

In other words, the work of IPBES has provided a framework and approach to engage with ILK and IPLCs in scientific assessments, and this has influenced the development of these guidelines for gathering and utilizing ILK in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The Report by IPBES discloses the worrying current situation of our nature: species extinction, wildlife decline, habitat loss, and exhausted ecological resources. According to the petition, "these systems are being thrown dangerously off balance by an onslaught of human activities. From pesticides on our fields to plastics choking our oceans to bulldozers in our forests, all over the planet, the natural world is under assault."
Dr. Zhou Jinfeng said, “we must change our lifestyle and production mode in a radical way. We should abandon the values of changing and conquering the nature obtained in the industrial civilization and develop new values of respecting and conserving nature. It is essential to protect earth resources, biodiversity, and natural habitats, and take actions to maintain the balance of the ecosystem, thus achieving sustainable development and creating a community of shared future for mankind. This is the inexorable trend of civilization development."
