During recent discussions on oceans issues, much attention has been devoted to integrative approaches, including an ecosystem approach to the management of the marine environment.

Cooperation between the Forum and the Convention, with the involvement of other CPF members, has focused on the relationship between sustainable forest management and ecosystem approach.

Experience suggests that a variety of approaches can be used to prepare integrated water resources management plans, including a more comprehensive approach that covers basin wide water management and investment, an ecosystem approach, or an incremental approach focusing on key priorities in accordance with capacities and resources.

The IUCN developed, with the assistance of the Netherlands, a transboundary project to promote the application of the ecosystem approach to complement activities between Niger and Nigeria.

Recent developments in close to nature forest management provide a model for a decentralized system that can yield good biodiversity conservation, consistent with the ecosystem approach adopted by the Convention on Biodiversity.

Very useful second ecosystem service.

Number eight the ecosystem collapses.

Finally, on an ecosystem scale.

Water quality, ecosystem management and disaster prevention

The need for an integrated ecosystem based approach to fisheries and oceans governance, based on the best available science, is widely and increasingly considered the key to maintaining fishery productivity and its continuing contribution to sustainable development.

And it's pushing the ecosystem close to collapse.

They're creating the ecosystem from which innovation emerges.

The ecosystem approach is applied by most organizations, including the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the GEF.

We need to make sure that all of the pieces of the ecosystem are there so the ecosystem can adapt to the effects of global warming.
