BIODIVERSITY LOSS

Causes Fundamental Cause The root causes of biodiversity loss are population growth and increasing natural resource consumption. The world's population has more than tripled in the 20th Century and projections show that continued growth is expected over the next 50 years. At the present pace, the Earth's renewable resources are rapidly being depleted. THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURE Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) is a series of comprehensive reports produced through the United Nations in 2005 that clearly defines and assesses these ecosystem services on a global scale. Ecosystem services are defined in the MA as comprising four categories: Provisioning services - material goods that nature provides include food, fuel, fibre DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES UNDER MINISTRY OF FOOD AND Departments and Agencies under Ministry of Food and Agriculture contributing to biodiversity conservation activities. TARGET 15: BY 2030, RESEARCH ON BIODIVERSITY IS IMPROVED TARGET 15: By 2030, research on biodiversity is improved in Lebanon, and research outputs and biodiversity related reports are shared through a centralized platform (from both public and private institutions), which is updated and made accessible to the public

_Abc Taxa_ is a series of peer-reviewed manuals dedicated to capacity building in zoological and botanical taxonomy, in collection management and in good practices in taxonomic and curatorial research. It facilitates the liberation of taxonomic and curatorial skills, competences and know-how needed to carry out basic to advanced taxonomic research on a particular living taxon. _Abc Taxa_ also intends to act as speaker's corner for those experts who have the skills to communicate on good practices in taxonomic research.

Good practices

_Abc Taxa_ is the product of the Belgian National Focal Point to the Global Taxonomy Initiative, but the series is the joint effort of the three main Belgian natural history institutions, being the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (Brussels), the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Tervuren) and the National Botanic Garden of Belgium (Meise). These institutions cooperate on an open and constructive basis with their specific several national and international partners. Funding for the production of these manuals is entirely provided by the Belgian Development Cooperation .
