Govt. should give equal funding to env. sector like defense --becoz it regulates our survival

More funding is needed towards various strategies of environmental protection. For instance, refer to:

It is better than 5 years ago, but more funding towards the environmental protection and particularly climate change research are needed.

Far more funding is urgently needed to buy land to protect fauna and flora.

As human populations almost double in the next few years, the demand for land for agriculture will increase, and prices rise. With only the present area of land protected (10%?), animals and plants will decline to half their present biomass.

Things like climate change will be adequately funded because people look after themselves. Most animals are doomed.

Govt. should give equal funding to env. sector like defense --becoz it regulates our survival

Yes..

International Funds have been important to mobilize financial resources in different environmental issues, for instance the Adaptation Fund (see https://www.adaptation-fund.org/about/) and other international initiatives. Despite the urgency to invest in different areas, most governments do not invest enough resources to reduce environmental impacts from the local to the global level, which explains the planetary crisis we are living.

I think that in a global point of view, the obvious response is that expenditure for environmental protection measures must be widely increased, especially in developing countries. The destruction of habitats and defaunation require much more response, often simply protecting and avoiding excessive development, although this also requires measures and money. In developed countries like Spain, the people and organizations that work in nature conservation have permanent financing needs for our projects. The European LIFE program is one of the main sources of funding for environmental protection measures in the EU and it is true that it is currently increasing its economic endowment, although it has gone through periods in which its continuity has been much questioned.

Funding is not sufficient at all. More funding is need to offer alternative livelihoods to communities bordering conservation areas e.g. livestock keepers whose large herds compete for forages with wildlife herbivores and, whereby their livestock are eaten by wildlife carnivores triggering human-wildlife conflicts.

The same funds may be used for compensating for livestock lost. The same is true with the crop farmers who border conservation areas, whereby their crops are destroyed by wildlife, they may resort to wildlife poisoning if they are not compensated.

Funds are also needed to lease/buy land to create conservancies and enhance ecotourism so that the system can sustain itself while paying off to land owners.

More funds are needed for the development of water resources in these areas (mostly dry areas where lands are degraded and rains are erratic), rehabilitation may also require actual planting of trees/grass, protection for some period of time before leaving them wild, which needs more funding.

I would like to add that in addition to providing more funds, it is very important to ensure that funds are directed effectively to measures that conserve nature. For example, the common agricultural policy (CAP) is the largest item of expenditure in the European Union and, in theory, a large part of these payments are made through biodiversity conservation measures or conditioned on compliance, although in practice it is not as green as it should be. be. A reorganization of this investment could have a huge effect on the conservation of nature in Europe.

Certainly the United States is getting a very low grade on environmental research funding at this time. I have hope this will change. However, I am also concerned about what institutionalized government mandates for how money will be spent for these purposes will again leave glaring holes, and reduce the overall effectiveness of better funded, even well intended programs. For example, I agree with Daniel Muvali above, except his emphasis on arid areas, misses the similar kinds of problems occurring in flood zones that are being inundated with excess water, and the need to address the resultant and growing environmental and economic destruction to these areas and their surrounding communities. Band-aid approaches for solutions and research to address both, have been in play. Wouldn't addressing significant effects on environment from climate change, and their effects on economics be a better mind set? More and more money is being committed to space research. I wonder if it would help if biologists would point out that learning to repair earth ecosystems, will improve our knowledge for creating livable environments elsewhere. Also, any colonies we can establish in space will remain dependent on earth for most of their food for a long time. The idea that we will jump into space ships and escape our own folly does not add up, not even if we get past the technical difficulties for travel and breathing..

Therefore, in the context of the above considerations, the following important question appears:

What do you think is the importance of biodiversity in natural ecosystems?

Biodiversity is diverse in virtually unlimited degree, which results from the essence of processes of evolution of species, filet lines and entire ecosystems. It is thanks to the millions of years of evolutionary processes on Earth that there are so many different natural and highly diverse ecosystems in which different species of flora, fauna, fungi and microorganisms adapt to life in different and very diverse geographical and climatic environments.

The largest biodiversity of ecosystems and species functions in natural environmental environments in which ecosystems have evolved without human impact through millions of years of climatic and geographical conditions enabling the development of various life forms. These types of high biodiversity sites can be found in unpolluted rainforest ecosystems in tropical forests, in temperate climates and in coral reefs.

Unfortunately, human civilization activity contributes to the successive and accelerating process of biodiversity reduction by dying out species of living organisms. The areas of natural natural ecosystems are decreasing, including those in which the greatest biodiversity is diagnosed, such as the rainforests of the Amazon. The protection of naturalistic ecosystems and thus the protection of the planet's biodiversity is the most important challenge for mankind in the 21st century.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

What do you think is the importance of biodiversity in natural ecosystems?

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Thank you very much

Best wishes

Moderate...!!!

The taken measures should have to be implemented appropriately and sincerely along with allocating sufficient budget for environmental protection in Bangladesh.

i think funds are available but how to get that fund to execute by the young scientist that gap is there

the government motivate the students about environmental protection importance from primary school onwards

It's never enough , It should not be .
