The steppe ecosystem and its protection Sample Clauses

The steppe ecosystem and its protection. The statements made in this workshop were remarkably rich and diverse and highlighted the need to preserve ecosystems to achieve sustainable development in steppe and Saharan regions. They also highlighted problems with regard to the protection of biodiversity. It was stressed that scientific research should be used as a basis for progress. Improved technology has proved a key factor in the fight against the major hazards which threaten animals, plants and even the physical environment and hence humans. Recommendations were made on the subject of the protection of animals and plants: - Take stock of the work done on ecosystems, highlighting the extent to which species are endangered and identify the measures that need to be taken to protect them (national management plans). - Support and carry on with studies on natural processes (in the areas of climate, soil and biology) to gain a better understanding of interactions and processes of change in space and time. - Update national legislation to bring it into line with international conventions (the convention on biodiversity, the convention on desertification and the convention on climate change). - Organise multidisciplinary teamwork involving local communities. - Harmonise study approaches and methods with a view to making better use of the results obtained. - Set up a national monitoring system to keep track of deterioration and desertification and of rehabilitation. With regard to genetic resources, do everything necessary to find out more about them, protect them and develop and enrich them. - In development programmes, promote the sustainable use of natural resources, involving local inhabitants and other partners in all the stages of devising and implementing these programmes. Promote human resources and in particular the role of rural women in the preservation, use and farming of steppe regions for foodstuffs, taking account of their functions as agricultural, forestry and grazing lands.
