重庆生物多样性 Protecting the biodiversity of Chongqing Martin Willison 博士, 教授, Dalhousie 大学, Halifax, Nova Scotia,加拿大 martinwillison@ 2009年12月01号 重庆市生物多样性保护策略和行动计划 生物多样性 Biodiversity Some important ideas about species - Native species – naturally of a region - Endemic species – found only in a region - Exotic species – Not native to that area, native to another area (also called “alien species”) - Domestic species – used and controlled by humans - Wild species – autonomous, not controlled by humans Three main threats to biodiversity Exploitation of living resources, such as hunting Loss of habitat and habitat fragmentation Invasive species, including diseases Why is biodiversity important?为什么生物多样性很重要？ Some Chongqing examples 一些重庆的例子 云豹 Neofelis nebulosa Nanchuan Jackfruit 南川木菠萝Artocarpus nanchuanensis Plants have many economic values as well as intrinsic value. Nanchuan Jackfruit is present only in Nanchuan County and is critically endangered in the wild. By propagating it and creating a commercial product it can be saved. The wild trees must also be saved for their genetic diversity. Do we want these species to be seen only in the Chongqing Natural History Museum?我们希望只在重庆自然博物馆看到这些物种吗？ They need their natural habitat那些物种需要他们的自然栖息地 Biodiversity also provides many values for humans 导致物种，亚物种及其从属物种消失和灭绝的因素: 对野生动植物的直接开发和利用 栖息地的消失 栖息地的破碎与分裂 外来物种及疾病的引入和传播 这些影响必须在生物多样性保护 可实施的层面：生态系统中加以消除和解决。 What can we do?Can students help? 我们能做些什么呢 Getting the word outon the worldwide web通过网页让全世界了解 宣教活动论坛： /bbs/thread.php?fid=149 * /web/index.aspx 产出5:公众的保护意识得到提高，从而参与到生物多样性保护中来 北红尾鸲 Daurian Redstart (Phoenicurus auroreus) male Ecosystem 生态系统 基因 Gene Species 物种 Each species has a range. In this case, the range has become fragmented. As a result, the species is endangered (may become extinct). 物种分布 San Antonio Zoo IUCN Red Book 大鲵 Andrias davidianus, Chi
