Box 3.2 The IUCN red list system
Extinct (Ex): A taxon is extinct when there is no reasonable
doubt that the last individual has died. A taxon is presumed extinct when exhaustive
surveys in known and expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal, annual) to the taxon’s life cycle and life form, throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual.

Box 3.2 The IUCN red list system
Extinct in the wild (EW): A taxon is extinct in the wild when it is known only
to survive in cultivation, in captivity, or as a naturalized population well outside the
past range, and there is no reasonable doubt that the last individual in the wild has dies, as outlined under EX.

Essay 3.3 An endangered biological phenomenon
endangered biological phenomenon 肇致物種危機,不是單純的物種本身的適應能力,而是物種
的生活習性 ( 現象 ) 。 譬如, migrant species
There are two principal reasons why animal migrations are endangered by human activities
1. Migrant species move through a sequence of ecologically distinct areas.
2. Aggregation of the migrants can occur, making the animals especially vulnerable.

What types of species are most vulnerable to extinction?
Specialization K-selected life history strategy
Rare species Highly restricted geographic range Seven forms of species rarity, based on three
distributional traits (Table 3.5, p.87) Population size, geographic range, habitat
specificity.

“bad luck”: extrinsic causes of extinction due to human activities
These species are not intrinsically vulnerable due to their traits but rather have the misfortune to be in the wrong place, the wrong time, or of being particularly palatable to humans.

Economic and social contexts of endangerment
Extreme poverty afflicts over 1 billion people, who live on less than $1/day, are chronically hungry, lack clean water and sanitation.
An additional 2.7 billion live on scarcely $2/day, and are just able to meet their basic needs, but not more.
Globalization spreads the dangers of economic expansion as countries prioritize international trade in natural resources to enhance their economies. This can exacerbate poverty where trade is not tied to
sustainable practices that improve the lives of local people, but rather provide cheap goods that fuel the economies of developed nations.

Responses to the biodiversity crisis
1. Scientific analysis of and communication about the drivers of change in biodiversity and human welfare
2. Technological improvements
3. Legal and institutional instruments
4. Economic incentives and plans
5. Social interventions.

32
The mechanisms for achieving solutions
1. Establishment of protected (Chap.14)2. Targeted interventions at genetic, species, and
ecosystem levels that integrate ecological understanding with community-based problem solving (Chap.11-13).
3. Restoration of damage ecosystems or endangered populations(Chap.15)
4. Creation of truly sustainable forms of development (Chap.16)

Laws and international agreements that address biodiversity loss Major international agreements, the landmark US En
dangered species Act (ESA), and other key US laws that protect biodiversity are described in Case Study 3.3.
Red List index (RLI) tallies changes in status due to either a deterioration or improvement of all threatened and near-threatened species since 1988. The RLI for birds has decreased by nearly 7% since 1988,
(Fig.3.10, p.91) Living Planet Index (LPI), summarizes change over ti
me in populations of over 1100 terrestrial, freshwater, and marine vertebrate species (Loh, et al., 2005) The LPI shows that terrestrial vertebrates have declined by
25% between 1970 and 2000 (Fig. 3.11A)

Case study 3.3 Key international and US Laws
Biodiversity The convention on international trade in
endangered species of wild fauna and flora. (CITES), first opened for signature in 1973.
Convention on biological diversity (CBD) was opened for signature in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and now includes 188 countries as parties (but not the US).

Habitat and ecosystem protections
The United Nations’ Educational, Social and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) Man and the Biosphere Programme provides an intitutional unbrella for a series of international Biosphere Reserves.
The Convention on Wetlands, also known as the Ramsar convention after the city in Iran where it was originally signed in 1971.

Questions for discussion
1. Despite considerable efforts, we know very little about the status of most of the world’s species. How can we improve our knowledge on species endangerment? What kinds of information might be most helpful to garner, and why?
2. In two or three decades’ time, your children or other youngsters may ask you a question along the lines of “when the biodiversity crisis became apparent in its full scope during the 1990s, what did you do about it?” What will your answer be?
