The Decade On Biodiversity: A Saskatchewan Perspective


October 12, 2011


The United Nations declared 2011-2020 the Decade on Biodiversity, to highlight the importance of biodiversity and to increase understanding of the vital role it plays in sustaining life on Earth. In his lecture, Branimir will talk about the meaning and function of biodiversity, and its implication for human well-being. He will address the current status and trends in the protection of plant and animal species, both on the world stage and locally. Branimir will present an audio-visual show with images resulting from a year-long project to document biodiversity hot-spots in Saskatchewan, protected through the work of Nature Conservancy of Canada. A NCC representative will be present to give a short overview of the NCC work in the province.
