How To Get Rid Of A Overbite

UN meeting on biodiversity destruction

Roughly 6,000 people attended this Monday in Bonn, Germany at the opening of a conference of the United Nations (UN) on the destruction of animal and plant resources that will continue over the next two weeks in a climate of concern about the future of the planet.
"Sixteen years after the Rio Summit, life on earth is at a crossroads, "said German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel, in his speech opening the conference.
This is the ninth conference made by member countries of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, to decelerate significantly before 2010, frightening the current rate of loss of biodiversity.
So, are currently threatened one in four mammals, one in eight birds, one third of amphibians and 70% of the plants.
The disappearance of animal and plant costs per year 6% of Gross National Product (GNP) World es decir, 2 mil millones de euros, según el estudio "La economía de los sistemas ecológicos y de la biodiversidad".
Este peso es especialmente duro para los países pobres porque generalmente no sacan beneficio alguno del uso de sus recursos y de los conocimientos de sus comunidades indígenas por parte de los grandes grupos industriales para sus productos comerciales o nuevas medicinas.
