Meio Ambiente

A 2ª Conferência das Partes da Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica (Jakarta, 1995) decidiu pela elaboração periódica de um relatório sobre biodiversidade: o Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO) ou Panorama da Biodiversidade Global, que oferece um resumo do estado da diversidade biológica e uma análise dos passos tomados pela comunidade global para assegurar que a biodiversidade seja conservada e usada de forma sustentável e que os benefícios advindos do uso dos recursos genéticos sejam equitativamente distribuídos.     * Global Biodiversity Outlook 1 (Panorama da Biodiversidade Global 1)    * Global Biodiversity Outlook 2 (Panorama da Biodiversidade Global 2)    * Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 (Panorama da Biodiversidade Global 3) outros relatórios e estudos específicos FAO - www.fao.orgOrganização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação/Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations•          State of the World's Forests 2005•          State of the World's Forests 2003•          Situación de los Bosques del Mundo 2003•          State of the World Fisheries and Aquaculture•          First State of the World's Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 1997•          Brazil Country Report on Plant Genetic Resources 1995•          Informe Síntesis de America del Sur sobre Recursos Fitogenéticos 1995•          Second State of the World's Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture Report•          First State of the Worlds Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture Report•          Livestock's Long Shadow: environmental issues and options PNUMA/UNEP - www.pnuma.orgPrograma das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente/United Nations Environment Program•          Global International Waters Assessment (GIWA) Final Report•          Global Deserts Outlook•          Global Environment Outlook (GEO)•          World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA/PNUMA e IUCN)•          One Planet Many People: Atlas of our Changing Environment•          Ecosystems and Biodiversity in Deep Waters and High Seas•          Making Tourism More Sustainable: A Guide for Policy Makers•          Shoreline Protection and other Ecosystem Services from Mangroves and Coral Reefs•          Cultural and Spiritual Values of Biodiversity IUCN - www.iucn.orgUnião Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza/The International Union for Conservation of Nature•          IUCN 2006 Red List Threatened Species (Lista Vermelha de Espécies Ameaçadas)•          Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA)•          Biodiversity Assessments Initiative estudos específicos• Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish communities(Ransom A.
