(c) Introduction of alien or new species

Supporting activities include the FAO advice on legislation and regulation to comply with international agreements regarding alien plant species, particularly the International Plant Protection Convention, and support for strengthening national plant protection services to reduce the introduction and spread of pests, including weeds, of quarantine significance.

Ten percent of all plant species on the planet, 24,000 species are safe 30,000 species, if we get the funding, by next year.

IV 1. The ecosystem approach, indicators, monitoring and assessment, alien species that threaten ecosystems, habitats or species and launching of a Global Taxonomy Initiative

I plant the potatoes, I weed the garden, I domesticate the species.

Discharged ballast water is said to be the most prominent medium for transferring new or alien species.

Designing effective conservation strategies must begin with knowledge of the species we need to protect. So far, taxonomists have described roughly 297,500 plant species.

Tropical forests are home to nearly half of all plant and animal species on Earth.

(i) Preparation of the development of a global strategy on alien species that threaten marine and coastal biological diversity

Maybe the results of atomic radiation... on plant life or animal life... some weird alien organism, a mutation of some kind.

11. Welcomes the decision of the Conference of the Parties at its fourth meeting to include an item entitled Alien species that threaten ecosystems, habitat or species in the agenda of its sixth meeting

Alien species once established are very difficult, if not impossible to eradicate. 244. IMO has been addressing the problem of the introduction of unwanted aquatic organisms and pathogens through the discharge of ships apos ballast water (see paras. 303 306). Discharge of ballast water is said to be the most prominent media for transferring new or alien species.

Hyperspectral imaging has been used as a tool to monitor the plant stress induced in plants that naturally bio accumulate certain chemical species.

Based on this development, mathematical models predict that roughly 15 more plant species exist than are currently known, for a total of some 350,000 species a figure that is consistent with expert opinion. Perhaps half of the undescribed species have already been collected and housed in herbaria, where they await detection and analysis.

(o) Analyse the causes of, and address solutions to, threats to forest health and vitality from natural disasters and human activities, including threats from fire, pollution, pests, disease and invasive alien species

Human activities, such as environmentally damaging infrastructure development, modification of river flows, deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices, over fishing, introduction of invasive alien species and release of pollutants, can upset this delicate balance.

And the world's first major botanical institution is in London, and they have this extraordinary project where they've been collecting 25 percent of all the world's plant species.

The resolution notes the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity and that the transfer and introduction of alien aquatic species with ballast water threatens the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity.

The Alien Residence Act

Northwestern Yunnan is one of the world s most biologically diverse areas, home to half of China s animal species and a quarter of its plant species. Whatever portions of this ecosystem that the dams don t submerge are certain to be disrupted in potentially disastrous ways.

The ecological questions involved how much area countries should protect, and where are not easy to answer doing so requires ever deeper knowledge of plant species and their habitats.

And the reason for that is they've got to chuck out masses and masses of pollen to have any chance of the pollen reaching another plant of the same species.

Moreover, while some 13 of the world s land area is currently protected, only 14 of the 17 that contains the most plant species fall within the protected areas. In order to improve the CBD s chances of success, countries with higher concentrations of unique species need more robust protections.

Is there alien life out there?

Nobody seems alien. They're not other.

I swear, I saw an alien!

An alien voice in our midst.

An alien creature molded by bureaucracy.

We see alien worlds, we see alien solar systems 300 now, and still counting and they're not like us.

The power plant of tomorrow is no power plant.

International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) patterns of genetic diversity in wild forage species in situ conservation in the Sahel region to monitor vegetation change over years strategies for in situ conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources in desert prone areas of Africa in situ conservation of agricultural biodiversity.

The third plant is money plant, and this is again a very common plant preferably grows in hydroponics.

The market is not alien to Africa.

Growing living structures under an alien sky ...

Every world has an alien, and every alien world has a flying saucer, and they move about with great speed. Aliens.

State Parties shall take all measures necessary to prevent the introduction of species, alien or new, into a shared watercourse which may have effects detrimental to the ecosystems of the watercourse resulting in significant harm to other Watercourse States.
