Colloquy on Conservation Management and Restoration of Habitats for Invertebrates
European Strategy for the Conservation of Invertebrates
Author: John R. HaslettPublisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287163592
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Invertebrate animals make up the greater part of the world's biological diversity and are present in all habitats, where they perform essential ecological functions. Their survival is fundamental to the maintenance of life as we know it. Large numbers of invertebrate species are under severe threat of extinction in Europe, or are already extinct due to the extreme transformations that European habitats have suffered due to human activities. The European Strategy for the conservation of invertebrates, adopted by the Council of Europe (Bern Convention) in 2006, addresses the loss of invertebrate biodiversity and promotes their conservation and the services they provide in terrestrial and non-marine aquatic environments. The Strategy offers appropriate guidance to European governments, other decision-makers, land managers, scientists and teachers that have potential influence on invertebrate conservation.

Conserving European Biodiversity in the Context of Climate Change
Author: Michael B. UsherPublisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287162632
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Climate change is likely to have major environmental effects on natural habitats in the next fifty years. Conservation of biological diversity will have to be modified drastically to avoid massive extinctions of species of threatened habitat types. Precise recommendations are made to governments and conservation agencies that collaborate in the framework of the Bern Convention. This publication provides a starting point for discussion about possible adaptation strategies if Europe's biodiversity is to be conserved.
Action Plans for Margaritifera Auricularia and Margaritifera Margaritifera in Europe
Author: Jorge Fernández OruetaPublisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287145666
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The species Margaritifera margaritifera still lives in the rivers of many European states, where its presence is always linked to excellent water quality. Margaritifera auricularia was thought to be extinct during many years, but populations were discovered in the Ebro river (Spain) and in the Loire basin (France) , where they are critically endangered. Action Plans are presented for both species.
Code of Practice for the Introduction of Biological and Landscape Diversity Considerations Into the Transport Sector
Author: Catherine J. BickmorePublisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9287151156
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
The Pan-European Biological and Landscape Strategy (1996) aims to halt the degradation of landscape and biological diversity across the European region. Action Theme 2 of the Strategy relates to the integration of landscape and biological diversity into other sectors including transport. This Code of Practice contributes to this progress. The Code relates to linear transport systems, comprising roads, railways and inland navigation along waterways, such as canals and rivers. It aims to assist elected representatives, decision makers, and practitioners as well as nature conservation bodies in the understanding of the main issues and solutions associated with the planning, design and use of linear transportation networks i.e. roads, railways and inland navigation channels, in relation to the landscape and biological diversity. Other modes of transport are outside the scope of this CodeThe Code sets a political and social framework and proposes policy options for the development of new, and the maintenance of existing linear transport systems in relation to biological and landscape diversity. By building on examples, the Code has developed a series of Practice Pointers.
