• Environment Support Group

  [Environmental,Social Justice and Governance Initiatives]
  Invites you to

  “Guardians of Biodiversity”

  A Workshop

  Saturday, the 22nd of May 2010 - pm to 7 pm at Environment Support
  Group, Banashankari 2nd Stage, Bangalore on the occasion of the
  International Day for Biodiversity, in commemoration of

  United Nations’ International year of Biodiversity

  According to the recently released UN Global Biodiversity Report “There
  is a high risk of dramatic biodiversity loss and accompanying
  degradation of a broad range of ecosystem services if ecosystems are
  pushed beyond certain thresholds or tipping points. The poor would face
  the earliest and most severe impacts of such changes, but ultimately all
  societies and communities would suffer.” Calling for “urgent action
  …..to reduce the direct drivers of biodiversity loss”, the report states
  “better decisions for biodiversity must be made at all levels and in
  all sectors, in particular the major economic sectors, and government
  has a key enabling role to play.”

  The workshop will provide participants a deep understanding of the
  multiple values of biodiversity conservation and International and
  National legal provisions and social safeguards available to protect our
  living ecosystems. The focus will be on taking proactive personal and
  institutional actions by working with different sections of our
  government and society to make change happen.

  Participate in “Guardians of Biodiversity” and be informed of the power
  you have to safeguard our planet: fully, meaningfully and responsibly.
