Librarians: Please Join and be
part of
the global effort to sustain life on Earth by helping
disseminate biological diversity (biodiversity)
information and
make it
readily
available to researchers, educators, students, policy
makers and laypersons in your area. Let's help build a
human society living
in harmony with other living things in the web of life
on Earth.

The environmental - climatic problems that all living
things on Earth are facing
today have largely been
the result of
cumulative human activities from the second quarter of
the 20th century to the present.
Humanity has
continued to
cause
serious degradation of the Earth's biosphere by over-exploiting
and depleting its living resources, encroaching upon
its natural habitats and severely polluting nearly all
of its
strata. Greenhouse gases continue to concentrate in the
atmosphere as dwindling populations
of green plants and related organisms on Earth
are no longer sufficient to remove these gases.
Consequently, the Earth is getting warmer, more and more
species are going extinct,
biological resources are getting scarcer and scarcer, and
the environment and climate are becoming less and less
habitable. Efforts to avert this trend towards catastrophic
consequences must be carried out and accurately executed
now before it becomes too late!
As part of the efforts, a
special Biodiversity issue on
"Biodiversity & Climate Change"
scheduled for 2008
are under preparation. This special issue
will present advanced research on ways to alleviate
these conditions.
