Preventing ecosystem degredation in a warming world is significant with drylands particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and desertification. Dryland ecosystems cover 41% of the land surface of the Earth and support 38% of the human population.</p> <p> Related: <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.au/2012/01/04/species-biodiversity-under-threat-from-the-velocity-of-climate-change">Species biodiversity under threat from the velocity of climate change</a> | <a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/01/06/18704233.php">Climate change and habitat loss threaten biodiversity, extinction rate underestimated</a></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Geography:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/global/international">Global/International</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/australia/new-south-wales">New South Wales</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/australia">Australia</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/australia/western-australia">Western Australia</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-5 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/climate-change">climate change</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/global-warming">global warming</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/biodiversity">biodiversity</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/drylands">drylands</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/desertification">desertification</a></div></div></div> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:03:04 +0000 takver 5065 at http://localhost/indymedia.org.au/drupal
