		<description><![CDATA[Today we celebrate World Wetlands Day to raise awareness of these extremely valuable ecosystems that continue to be among the most threatened. We now recognize that wetlands provide many benefits to people, including that wetlands and their wildlife are a key part of the global tourism and cultural travel experience. From the stark beauty of Arctic lakes to breath-taking experiences of coral reefs, wetlands provide magnificent landscapes that tourists can appreciate. Behind the beautiful vistas and scenes, wetlands also underpin many services that tourists need, such as the availability of clean water, the recycling of wastes and protection from extreme weather events.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Jan. 20, 2012 — Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world. The challenges of conserving the world's species are perhaps even larger than mitigating the negative effects of global climate change. Dealing with the biodiversity crisis requires political will and needs to be based on a solid scientific knowledge if we are to ensure a safe future for the planet. This is the main conclusion from scientists from University of Copenhagen, after 100 researchers and policy experts from EU countries were gathered this week at the University of Copenhagen to discuss how to organise the future UN Intergovernmental Panel for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, IPBES -- an equivalent to the UN panel on climate change (IPCC).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[23 December 2011: Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, or an entire planet. Some descried biodiversity as everything that is necessary to survive on this planet and a measure of the health of ecosystems. Biodiversity is in part a function of climate in terrestrial habitats. Tropical regions are typically rich whereas Polar Regions support fewer species. Everybody agree that biological resources are fundamental to human well being in agriculture, livestock, logging, export earning, economic output and for their ecological services and function.]]></description>
