外文翻译 原文 Material Source: Impact Assessment Project Appraisal Author: Treweek.J.R Brown.Claire Bubb.Philip Agricultural expansion is a major driver for loss of biodiversity； changes in land use or intensity associated with trade liberalization can therefore have major consequences. Assessments of the impacts of agricultural trade have tended to neglect biodiversity， despite its crucial role in maintaining productive agro-ecosystems. Advice on assessment of biodiversity impacts is required to support trade negotiations and reduce risks of unforeseen consequences for important biodiversity and those who depend on it for their livelihoods. This paper explores linkages between biodiversity and trade and draws on examples from the agriculture sector to reinforce the need to build a biodiversity-inclusive process for assessing impacts of trade policies and agreements. This paper reviews the need for assessing impacts of trade on biodiversity in the agriculture sector， taking into account the linkages among biodiversity， farming and poverty alleviation and the scale of impacts from agriculture on important biodiversity， it summaries some of the ways in which trade-related policies， agreements and measures can act as drivers for impacts of agriculture on biodiversity， and then sets out some key considerations for biodiversity-inclusive trade policies. The first four sections of the paper identify the main biodiversity issues in the agricultural trade policy context. The next section reviews the extent to which these issues have been addressed in past impact assessments of trade-related measures. Recommendations are then developed for fuller assessment of biodiversity impacts in the trade impact assessment process. A special case can be made for assessing the implications of agricultural trade policies and agreements for biodiversity， and for building safeguards into them to ensure conservation and sustainable use. The goal is to d
