Home About TDWG Standards Activities ... Glossary Welcome to Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) Biodiversity Information Standards TDWG ) is an international not-for-profit group that develops standards and protocols for sharing biodiversity data. Read more Basic Recommendations The most widely deployed formats for biodiversity occurrence data are Darwin Core wiki ) and ABCD wiki ). New deployments of these and other XML based formats should use the TAPIR exchange protocol. The TDWG community's priority is the deployment of Life Science Identifiers (LSID), the preferred Globally Unique Identifier technology and transitioning to RDF encoded metadata as defined by a set of simple vocabularies . All new projects should address the need for tagging their data with LSIDs and consider the use or development of appropriate vocabularies. TDWG's activities within the biodiversity informatics domain can be found in the Activities section of this website. We Need Your Support Please consider becoming a member . TDWG needs people with IT skills to develop effective standards for sharing biodiversity data. We need biologists, taxonomists, zoologists, geoscientists, librarians and anyone dealing with biodiversity information. We need institutional members that could use our standards to ensure that what we develop will save you time and money There are three ways to join TDWG- Free registration - Required to access TDWG online resources Individual Membership - US$75/year Institutional Membership - US$500/year but US$400 if paid before March 1, 2008

65. Natural Biodiversity Natural biodiversity is working to restore nature’s diversity in Pennsylvania’s Alleghenies region. Its projects entail invasive species control, http://www.naturalbiodiversity.org/

Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves. - Jean Jacques Rousseau Had Rousseau walked in the 18th-century Alleghenies, he would have observed a substantially different natural world than the one that we see today. Old-growth forests, filled with mighty chestnut, hemlock and beech trees, dominated the ridges. A wondrous diversity of plants provided food and other essentials of life. Over the ensuing centuries, old-growth forests were cut, blight decimated the chestnuts, and species such as Japanese knotweed and multiflora rose were introduced, crowding out native plants. Natural Biodiversity is a program committed to curtailing invasive species and restoring native plants. Learn more about our mission, our projects, and how you can help!

ICBG Technical Advisory Group [PDF 11KB] I. Introduction The International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) Program is a unique effort that addresses the interdependent issues of drug discovery, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable economic growth. Funding for this program has been provided by nine components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Biological Sciences Directorate of the National Science Foundation and the Foreign Agriculture Service and Forest Service of the USDA. The cooperating NIH components are the Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Office of Dietary Supplements, and National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Efforts to examine the medicinal potential of the earth's plants, animals and microorganisms are urgently needed, since enduring habitat destruction and the resulting diminishment of biodiversity will make it increasingly difficult to do so in the future. 40-50% of currently used drugs have an origin in natural products. The FIC-managed Biodiversity Program is designed to guide natural products drug discovery in such a way that local communities and other source country organizations can derive direct benefits from their diverse biological resources. Benefit-sharing may provide clear incentives for preservation and sustainable use of that biodiversity.

Blogging Biodiversity International negotiations from a personal perspective Sat 9 Feb 2008 Posted by Kathryn under Intellectual property 1 Comment Nearly a year ago, I wrote a post ahead of things speaking at the Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa on February 20th and I have developments, this time accurate (I think), on the enola case. And then you go back and say it is what is deposited. But as we said earlier, if you get something from the deposit, it may or may not fall within the scope of your claims. Wow. The last part of the exchange refers to an earlier discussion between Mr. Lee and the judge about how the distribution of a particular phenotypic characteristic in a given sample of seeds/plants of a particular variety will be distributed along a bell curve. The result is that any one seed in the sample of enola beans deposited with the ATCC The exchange also points to how the specification requirements of patent law - and the allowances for depositories that are supposed to circumvent the impossibility of fully describing living organisms - are not well-suited to the uniqueness of living organisms. 100 mg viagra 100 mg viagra prices 100mg viagra 50 mg viagra ... cialis in uk The other update concerns further resources related to this case.

Through its Biodiversity and Wildlife Program, CIEL promotes the development and enforcement of an international framework of law and policy that supports conservation and sustainable use of living resources, including biodiversity, wildlife, forests and fisheries. One program strategy is to strengthen international legal mechanisms that reward local conservation efforts. Another is to reform international law in other fields in particular trade and intellectual property rules so they support rather than impede conservation. A third is to promote effective implementation of international conservation agreements. What is Biodiversity, and Why is it Important? Biodiversity makes up the structure of the ecosystems and habitats that support essential living resources, including wildlife, fisheries and forests. It helps provide for basic human needs such as food, shelter, and medicine. And it is increasingly threatened by destructive human activities.

Your health is impacted by the cleanliness of the environment around you and across the globe. BIODIVERSITY AND HUMAN HEALTH around the globe. Your individual health, comfort, and prosperity depends heavily on the actions you take at home, as well as the actions of your elected representatives and the businesses in your community. But did you know it is also heavily impacted by actions taken more than half a world away? On an ever-shrinking planet, tightly linked by global communications systems, jet travel, and the international exchange of products and services, the conditions of peoples around the globe are intimately connected with the conditions of the adjoining wild spaces and natural habitats. For example, recent studies have demonstrated that pollution constricts blood vessels , increasing the incidence of heart disease and related disorders in heavily polluted areas. Tropical deforestation is taking a heavy toll on global biodiversity.
