Q1-2

 

Biodiversity Action Plan

 
Chapter 3- (biodiversity)
  This article is about the overview of biodiversity and the status of animals. A BAP is a Biodiversity Action Plan which is a program that helps to protect the existance of many types of species. The point of the plan is to keep the biodiversity up so that ecosystems can be more stable. 188 countries signed the bill to help keep biodiversity constant but only a few actually developed a plan to help the environment. Conservation status is the severity of how little of a species there are.  Biodiversity hot spots are still thriving with biodiversity and they are very stable environments, usually away from civilization.
I think that all of the 188 countries need to follow through with their plans to maintain biodiversity in the environment. Once the 188 countries all achieve their plans and goals, then the remaining countries can follow the band wagon and maybe even get a small incentive such a money incentive. I think that if we want to keep this world going for as long as possible we need to take biodiversity strictly and we are making good steps toward keeping biodiversity stable but we aren't quite there yet.

  1. Did the US sign this bill and did we develop a plan? or is this like the Kyoto protocol where we sponsored a bill to decrease the amount of CO2 emissions and then refused to sign it?
