The diversity of life on Earth is not a trivial matter. Plants and animals somehow help a person to maintain health and serve as a source of human well-being. Meanwhile, in recent years, there has been an unprecedented rapid rate of loss of biodiversity: from coral reefs, to rare species of tigers and birds, many species of plants and animals are on the verge of complete extinction.
"To save any endangered species, first of all, you need to protect its habitat, but 43 percent of such areas are not protected at the state level, "said Ian Burfield, scientific coordinator of the international organization"BirdLife International".
One of the solutions to this problem is the creation of special "biodiversity zones". This status will protect the unique habitats of species under threat of extinction.
"Status "area of biodiversity" provides many benefits to the local community and protect water resources and preserve the local biodiversity and reducing the negative impact of climate change", - the expert emphasizes on biodiversity, the UN environment programme Ersin Esen.
The conference of the parties to the Convention on biological diversity is being held in Sharm El-Sheikh from 17 to 29 November. The parties to the Convention assess progress in the implementation of the strategic plan on biodiversity for 2011-2020. The UN Convention on biological diversity, which protects natural resources, was developed at the world summit on environment and sustainable development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. It has been ratified by 196 countries.
(1) At christmas and other holidays people often give gifts to eachother. (2) but is it better to receive gifts or to give them? (3) In my opinion, receiving gifts is slightly better than giving them. (4) When you give gifts, you lost your item and the person will get that item. (5) you may get temporary comfort and happiness from that, but realising that your item is now gone is a bit sad. (6) but, when you are the one to get these little surprises, you'll feel alot better than the person gifting you.(7) happiness from giving items is temporary, but the items you get from people, be it a TV or a pc or other things serving you for a long time,gives you happiness that lasts a lengthy amount of time.(8) But if its a trip to the waterpark, or a yummy snack, its temporary too. (9) I am not saying you should not give gifts. (10) Give gifts to your loved ones and friends and they will reward you nicely, too!
