494 | 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. |
