Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This proposal will seek to examine biological diversity with particular reference to coral reef ecosystems to the environment, economy and human well-being. Coral reef ecosystems are reported to be the richest bio-diverse group in the world and from the socio-economic view; they are mainly located in developing countries. The cost of policy inaction will result to 60% corals reef loss by 2030 resulting to significant, and potentially irreversible welfare losses to the future generations. Objectives: 1-To develop conceptual framework to examine welfare impacts on biodiversity and coral reef ecosystem 2-To link society, economy, environment to ecosystem by incorporating socio- economic and demographic factors 3-To evaluate welfare impacts by simulating policy conservation programmes for environment, economy and people’s wellbeing 4-To deliver policy suggestions to value ecosystems and promote dissemination portal among all stakeholders Output: -Interactive web-based database and mapping tool to access data collected and to visualize the value of biodiversity and ecosystem conservation programs linked to human welfare and poverty alleviation -Specific education and dissemination activities for coral reef protection and coordination from organizations such as: Conservation International, International Coral Reef Action Network and UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre Benefits: 1-Society: identification of socio-economic and demographic datasets will provide a better understanding how these factors impact conservation 2-Economy: estimation of economic benefits coral ecosystems will assist in minimizing losses and ensure sustainable management and conservation 3-Institution: network opportunity with European and international researchers for immediate and future collaboration; and in Europe, policy action in conserving, mitigating and awareness campaigns on coral ecosystems will strengthen international co-operation, development and security'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Coral reefs are fragile marine ecosystem and provide a range of benefits to human well-being. However coral reefs would be among the first to be stressed by climate change in the form of ocean acidification, coral bleaching and diseases.
