    The objectives of this project are to determine the interrelationships between the physical properties of ecosystems and the ecology of organisms in the generation of biodiversity, to measure objectively the resultant diversity and to produce operational concepts of biodiversity which are of general applicability and importance.

    Extractions: The relationships between breeding ecology, niche width and biogeographic range, and their bearing on the future dynamics of biodiversity at a time of accelerating environmental change and extinction will be studied. The development of operational concepts for assessing and describing the very basis of biodiversity will be established This will involve evaluating and comparing phenotypic and genotypic features as measures of the buffering capacity of the components of biodiversity with respect to changing environmental factors, and will be achieved by focusing on genetic heterogeneity levels and phenotypic responses in relation to the environment, and on thermal tolerance. The determination of the mechanisms involved in the transition from polymorphic, interbreeding populations to those of species status, and the elucidation of how such changes can be distinguished from phenotypic plasticity, will be addressed. Techniques for the identification of species and 'lower' taxonomic units will be developed, and new molecular methods tested in those species in which the levels of polymorphism are high.

Its mission is to protect the diversity of life through education, training, and research in ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics - disciplines that are the foundation of sound conservation practice. O ne of the primary goals of the Center is to provide financial support for graduate student training in ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics. Towards that end the Center is working with several private foundations and corporations to establish research fellowships for graduate students, to fund an annual research award competition for graduate students, and to provide additional support for graduate student travel to professional meetings. T he Center sponsors a Colloquium in Conservation and Biodiversity that brings four or five distinguished scholars to campus earch year with funds provided by a local corporation. It is working with several private foundations to establish a visiting guest professorship series that will invite faculty from other institutions to visit for an extended period and offer a specialized seminar on topics not normally covered in our curriculum.

Strengthening ties between local communities and governments has been a focus of the Council by way of promoting strong local leadership and encouraging comprehensive solutions to regional issues. The Council was not created to independently establish new projects nor to become another bureaucracy. Rather, its purpose is to discuss, coordinate, and assist in developing strategies and complementary policies for conserving biodiversity. Members exchange information, resolve conflicts, and promote development of regional conservation practices.

    Working for the preservation of biodiversity, against monoculture agriculture, and for better ways for humans to live in harmony with their environment.  
    http://www.eden-foundation.org/
    
    Extractions: svensk projektsida A Better Way Eden Foundation believes that there is a purpose with every species, even though it often has yet to be discovered. It is important to preserve both a variation between species, and within a species. These variations reduce the risks of pests and diseases as well as the need for inorganic fertilisers and irrigation. Plants should be chosen that thrive naturally in the area where they are to be cultivated, rather than being supported artificially. To maintain the genetic variation of a species, they should be reproduced through seeds rather than shoots or artificial methods. By intercropping (mixing different species in the same fields, often annuals and perennials), the plants can support each other better and naturally maintain a high level of soil nutrition. The downside of this is that it does not work very well with the agricultural machines in use today. But Eden believes it is better to adapt the machines to the world than to adapt the world to the machines. The environmental degradation seen all over the world today is caused mainly by humans. When people don't see the use of elements in their environment, they will abuse them. However, if they see a purpose, they will protect and maintain them. Fencing areas and setting tracts of lands off-limits to people is not the ultimate solution. Humans have a place in the world, as much as any other species. Eden believes that people can have an as positive effect on their environment as they can have a negative one. Man should live in symbiosis with nature, where he benefits from the land by what it gives, and where the land benefits from him because he protects and takes care of it. When he does a good job, wildlife will increase as well. The problem of overpopulation that many are concerned about today may not be such a big problem after all, as people will be needed to reverse the process of environmental degradation.

    Extractions: AFRICAN BIODIVERSITY SERIES Produced by the Biodiversity Support Program Number 1, May 1995 Indigenous vs. Introduced Biodiversity Conservation Strategies: The Case of Protected Area Systems in Ghana By Dr. Yaa Ntiamoa-Baidu INTRODUCTION Many countries in Africa have undergone rapid population growth; this, unfortunately, has not been matched with an equally rapid rate of development of appropriate technologies and management of natural resources that cater for the increasing demands on the resources. Concurrently, the traditional strategies for biodiversity conservation that have existed in African communities have gradually eroded. The result is extensive habitat destruction, degradation, and severe depletion of wildlife, with serious consequences for biodiversity conservation on the continent. Biodiversity is defined here as variety of life forms, measured in terms of biomes, ecosystems, species, and genetic varieties and the interactions between them. In the early 1900s, concern over rapid destruction of forests and dwindling wild animal populations in Ghana and other African countries led colonial administrators to introduce protected area systems based on western knowledge and values. Introduced protected area systems in Ghana comprise forest reserves and wildlife conservation areas (national parks, game production reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and strict nature reserves). Control of these areas is vested in central government. A policy of externally enforced exclusion is pursued and no serious attempts are made to involve the local communities in the management of the protected areas. This situation, naturally, generates antagonism and often results in conflicts between local communities and wildlife/forestry officers.
