Marine protected areas could save the ocean - here's how

Marine protected areas could save the ocean - here's how | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
From www.weforum.org - June 5, 2020 12:21 PM

Launched this week to coincide with the Virtual Ocean Dialogues deep dive panel on Ocean Protection, the comic-style booklet uses visual storytelling to clarify when biodiversity protection really begins and an MPA can be counted towards the global target. So, while it may take us back to the nautical Adventures of Tintin, the story has a timely and critical purpose: to end the confusion over different types and stages of ocean protection that is interfering with clear accounting and decisions. This clarity will be vital for integrating marine protection into post-COVID-19 recovery plans.

Launch of the Voluntary Guidelines for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers’ Varieties/Landraces - Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

Launch of the Voluntary Guidelines for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers’ Varieties/Landraces - Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
From www.fao.org - November 18, 2019 5:08 AM

The cultivation of diverse farmers’ varieties/landraces, which tend to be well-adapted and suited to local production systems, confers increased resilience for crop production. Farmers’ varieties/landraces are also potential sources of traits for crop improvement, especially for developing varieties tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses and for incorporating farmer-preferred traits. Unfortunately, many of these genetic resources have been replaced by modern cultivars in recent decades, resulting in a reduction in the total number of different varieties grown and/or loss of heterogeneity. Such losses make farming systems less resilient, especially to shocks from abiotic and biotic stresses.

DocBiodiv's insight:

"The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched a new publication entitled “Advancing the forest and water nexus – a capacity development faciliation guide” which aims to help technicians, local communities and policymakers better understand the connection between water and forests."
