2009.2.25(日)人類讓印尼雨林變成“易燃物”

據《新科學人》雜誌報導,人類活動已將世界第三大雨林區變成可被氣候變化的火藥桶。 在一項針對蘇門答臘和婆羅洲林火的研究中,調查人員分析了當地機場在一项针对苏门答腊和婆罗洲林火的研究中,调查人员分析了当地机场50年的可见记录。50年的可見記錄。

多倫多大學大氣物理學家羅勃特菲爾德談到:在上世紀70年代末期的干旱中,婆羅洲從高度防火區變成了高度易燃區。他將這種突然變化歸於毀林快速增加和人口上升。

菲尔德认为,人类毁林造田使森林生态系统变得不稳定,即更加干燥并更易受到未来干旱侵袭。菲爾德認為,人類毀林造田使森林生態系統變得不穩定,即更加干燥並更易受到未來乾旱侵襲。 1960年以来,通常由太平洋厄尔尼诺现象导致的干旱已给印度尼西亚带来数次大火。1960年以來,通常由太平洋厄爾尼諾現象導致的干旱已給印度尼西亞帶來數次大火。 最严重的一次发生在19971998年,造成数百公里外城市上空的浓烟,并引起至少一起飞机相撞。最嚴重的一次發生在19971998年,造成數百公里外城市上空的濃煙,並引起至少一起飛機相撞。

菲尔德指出,在东南亚林火期间,烟尘和二氧化碳排放的罪魁祸首是位于林地深泽的泥炭燃烧。菲爾德指出,在東南亞林火期間,煙塵和二氧化碳排放的罪魁禍首是位於林地深澤的泥炭燃燒。 印尼政府本月早些時候做出重開中斷兩年轉泥炭地為油椰等作物種植園的決定,而他的這一發現增加了對此計劃的憂慮。印尼政府本月早些时候做出重开中断两年转泥炭地为油椰等作物种植园的决定,而他的这一发现增加了对此计划的忧虑。

2008.3.31生物多樣性保育 逐漸成為全球產業獲利來源





摘譯自2008年3月31日ENS瑞士,格蘭報導;謝芳怡編譯;蔡麗伶審校
由全球最具規模的保育組織和石化公司合作的研究報告發現,當全球開始警覺到生物多樣性流失加速的同時,企業界已開始將「生物多樣性保育」視為具獲利潛力的事業。

世界自然保育聯盟(IUCN)與殼牌石油公司在27日所發表的報告中,積極呼籲各國進行政策改革,增加多樣性保育的商業獎勵。

「生物探勘」(bioprospecting)是生物多樣性相關產業中快速成長的一項,主要內容是在未開發地區尋找新的化合物、基因和有機體,報告中預估到了2050年其產值約可達5億美元。

另一份「打造生物多樣性商機」的報告中則提到,過去是導致生物多樣性流失的產業,現在已透過保護生物多樣性,而位居領先地位。舉例來說,有機農業和永續性木建材的市場正以二位數的速度飛快成長。

報告中同時發現,對於減緩氣候變遷的服務需求也是與日俱增,例如對可吸收二氧化碳的森林溼地進行保育。生態旅遊更是透過照料野生物種及棲地而獲利的明顯實例。相較與整體觀光業9%的成長率,全球強調對環境友善的觀光業,每年更以20%~30%的速度成長。

但生態旅遊評論家也警告,大量人潮侵入野生棲地,將可能對野生動物的生殖力和存活率帶來不利的影響。

報告中指出,目前所有生物多樣性產業所面臨的主要問題,就是缺乏公認性的指標來評估多樣性保育行為的利弊。越來越多企業看到將經營營運與生物多樣性相互整合的好處,並尋求以市場為基礎的解決方案和機會。

世界自然保育聯盟每年持續更新「瀕危物種紅皮書」,並透環境議題上的外交關係,支持科學研究和棲地管理計劃,來協助全世界找到環境與發展問題的解決之道。這項工作包含了存在地球上的所有類型動植物和生態系統,例如各種地球上的自然環境,或是廣泛的重大環境永續發展議題。

Making Biodiversity Conservation Pay Off

GLAND, Switzerland, March 31, 2008 (ENS)

As the world wakes up to the accelerating loss of biological diversity, businesses are increasingly viewing biodiversity conservation as a potential profit center, says a new collaborative report from one of the world's largest conservation organizations and one of the world's largest international oil, gas and chemicals companies.

Issued Thursday, the report from the IUCN-International Union for Conservation of Nature and Shell International Ltd. calls for policy reforms to increase the commercial rewards for conserving biodiversity.

One biodiversity business that is growing quickly is bioprospecting, the search for new compounds, genes and organisms in the wild. The report suggests the sector could be worth as much as US$500 million by 2050.

Titled "Building Biodiversity Business," the report says some businesses that were historically responsible for the loss of biodiversity now are starting to lead the way by protecting biodiversity.

For instance, markets for organic agriculture and sustainably-harvested timber are growing at double-digit rates.

And there is an increasing demand for climate mitigation services, such as the protection of forests and wetlands to absorb carbon dioxide, the report finds.

Ecotourism is one obvious example of how money can be made from looking after species and their habitats. Worldwide, environmentally-friendly tourism is expanding at a rate of 20 to 30 percent annually, compared with a nine percent expansion rate for tourism as a whole.

Critics of ecotourism warn that the intrusion of large numbers of people into wild habitats can adversely influence the reproductive success and survival of the affected wildlife.

A key challenge facing all biodiversity businesses is the lack of accepted indicators to measure positive and negative contributions to biodiversity conservation, the report finds.

An increasing number of companies see a business advantage in developing processes to integrate biodiversity into their operations, as well as seeking market-based solutions and opportunities.

The organization maintains the Red List of Threatened Species and helps the world find pragmatic solutions to environment and development challenges by conducting environmental diplomatic relations, supporting scientific research; and managing field projects all over the world.

This work encompasses all types of animal and plant species on the planet; all types of ecosystems - the different types of natural places that exist on Earth; and a wide range of major environmental and sustainable development issues.
