Pourquoi le monde sonore des mares ressemble-t-il à une "discothèque aquatique" ?

Pourquoi le monde sonore des mares ressemble-t-il à une "discothèque aquatique" ? | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

A l'aide de micros, des scientifiques enregistrent les sons des écosystèmes naturels. Après les océans et les forêts, une équipe de l'université de Bristol (Royaume-Uni) a dévoilé le monde sonore mystérieux... des mares de la campagne anglaise. Un "orchestre" étonnant.

Independent review backs introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas

Independent review backs introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
Review recommends introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas as essential for marine protection and recovery.

An independent review led by former Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon, and published today on World Ocean Day, is calling for the introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas in English waters. The review was commissioned on last year’s world ocean day by then Environment Secretary Michael Gove as part of the Government’s drive to protect our waters.

These highly protected marine areas would enable a greater recovery of the marine ecosystem and enhance the Government’s commitment to a national ‘Blue Belt’, which has already seen an area of 92,000 square km protected - 40% of English seas.

It’s been a lost decade - it’s time to revive our world - Martin Harper's blog - The RSPB Community

It’s been a lost decade - it’s time to revive our world - Martin Harper's blog - The RSPB Community | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

It seems that David Attenborough’s programme Extinction: the facts moved many people to tears.  To me, that is an entirely rational response to the ongoing destruction to the natural world.  This relentless loss of the beauty and wonder of our planet not only corrodes the soul, it compromises our own species’ prosperity.

But, as I wrote on Friday, grief needs to be matched with a determination to change, bolstered by the belief that we know what it takes to make things better. 

Today must be the moment that we choose a different path and take steps to revive our world.

The Global Biodiversity Outlook 5 (GBO5) will be published later today and will reveal that the world has largely failed in its collective efforts to save nature over the last decade, and none of the targets (set under the UN's Convention on Biological Diversity - the CBD) have been fully met.

To pre-empt this, we launched A Lost Decade for Naturewhich shines a light on the UK’s limited contribution towards these global biodiversity targets.  According to the UK Government’s own assessment of performance, we will miss over two thirds of our commitments for nature made in 2010 (14 out of 20).
