Integrating biodiversity conservation and sustainable use : lessons learned from ecological networks

The importance of strengthening ecological coherence and resilience as necessary
conditions for both biodiversity conservation and sustainable development has
attracted growing attention in recent years in a wide range of conservation and
development fora. The World Summit on Sustainable Development, that was
held in Johannesburg in September 2002, adopted the goal of securing by 2010 a
significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss. In setting out how
this can be achieved within the context of sustainable development, the
Johannesburg Plan of Implementation called for the promotion of ‘national and
regional ecological networks and corridors’.
