What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has released a report titled \u201cSustainable Use of Wild Species\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What is the purpose of the report?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The report offers insights into the sustainable use of wild species by reminding the global community how much, human beings are interdependent, with all living beings and why it\u2019s important to conserve them by stopping overexploitation and protecting their habitats.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key findings of the report?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Dependence on Wildlife Species: <\/b>50,000 wild species are used for different human purposes, including more than 10,000 wild species harvested directly for food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 70% of the world\u2019s poor are directly dependent on wild species.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 One in five people rely on wild plants, algae, and fungi for their food and income;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 One in three people – 2.4 billion – rely on fuel wood for cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-Extractive use: <\/b>Even n<\/span>on-extractive uses of wild species are important. For instance, tourism based on observing wild species is an important revenue source.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cultural Significance: <\/b>Certain species have cultural importance, as they offer multiple benefits that define tangible and intangible features of people\u2019s cultural heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Threats faced by Wildlife Species:<\/b><\/h5>\n

O<\/strong>verexploitation, climate change, pollution, and deforestation<\/strong> are pushing one million species towards extinction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, unless humankind improves the sustainable use of nature, the Earth is on its way to losing 12% of its wild tree species, over a thousand wild mammal species, and almost 450 species of sharks and rays among other irreparable harm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestions given by the report:<\/b><\/h5>\n

Firstly, <\/b>integration of diverse value systems, equitable distribution of costs and benefits, changes in cultural norms and social values, and effective institutions and governance systems can facilitate the sustainable use of wild species.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly<\/b>, bringing scientists and indigenous peoples together to learn from each other will strengthen the sustainable use of wild species.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirdly,<\/b> reducing illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, suppressing harmful financial subsidies, supporting small-scale fisheries, adapting to changes in oceanic productivity due to climate change, and proactively creating effective transboundary institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
