Tongass Conservation Society Who Are we? A Program overview TCS is the conservation conscience of Ketchikan, Alaska. In the heart of the Tongass, Ketchikan is also home of a activist timber industry and an anti-environment press. TCS is dedicated to preserving the biodiversity of the many island forests of the Tongass through protection of habitat from the pressures of industrial exploitation. Tourism Industry Threatening to Destroy Itself NEW!!! Comments Due!!! Misty Fiords Float Ketchikan is host each summer to 500,000 tourists who arrive on cruiseships looking for a taste of the wilderness. One popular destination is the jewel of Misty Fiords National Monument. Rudyerd Bay. This unique and inspiring fjord features majestic snow-capped peaks whose flanks form the walls of a beautiful canyon in the rainforest. Goats, bears, eagles are frequently seen as you watch waterfalls that tumble from the snowfields. But what you also see and hear are the vast armadas of aircraft buzzing tourists on flightseeing tours. TCS is working to facilitate planning for a tourism industry which responsibly manages its own use and abuse of the wilderness. Read more about Misty and Tourism impacts.

Key Points: English French Spanish There is a growing debate about how intellectual property rights, such as patents, will affect food, farming, and biodiversity , in particular, through the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) at the World Trade Organisation and other agreements. This 24 page discussion paper reviews the complexities and uncertainties surrounding the impact of the current multilateral Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) regime, on plants and animals, on plant variety protection systems, and on food security and agricultural biodiversity. It concludes that these ambiguities caution against any strengthening of such rights at this time. KEY POINTS Section 1 examines the nature of IPRs, their origin and role in market economies, and the balance they re p resent between providing incentives to create knowledge and the desirability of disseminating knowledge freely for everyone's benefit.

Welcome to MarClim. MarClim is a new major four-year multi-partner British and Irish project led by the Marine Biological Association in collaboration with Plymouth Marine Laboratory, The Scottish Association for Marine Science, The University of Plymouth and University College Cork. The aim of MarClim is to assess and forecast the influence of climatic change on marine biodiversity in Britain and Ireland using long term and current data on intertidal rocky shore indicator species. MarClim is currently the only government-funded project addressing climate change in the marine environment in the UK. Our pages detail the activities of our project and provide general information on climate change issues. Click here to explore the MarClim Web site You are visitor number since January 26th 2003

Biographies in biodiversity The human scene Conservation issues Travel and tourism Information sources and contacts Urban areas Rainforest Dry tropical forest Spiny desert Madagascar locations map Madagascar is about as far away as you can get from the United States, both geographically and biologically. The same principles of ecology and evolution apply everywhere, but the different conditions have led to very different results. Likewise, the threats to biodiversity have underlying similarities, but the details are quite different. Much of the original biodiversity still exists in Madagascar, but it may not survive long into the next century. This web site is intended to illuminate the principles of ecology and evolutionary biology and to educate people about threats to biodiversity. We hope that it will inspire you to learn about and protect biodiversity in your country as well as in Madagascar. David R. Parks and the Missouri Botanical Garden
