Now, a new organization formed to monitor the ecological state of the planet & its natural resources. The initiative taken by the United Nations Organization. It forms a task force. The intergovernmental science policy platform on Biodiversity & Ecosystem services.
More than 230 delegates from 85 nations formed the task force, which have given the green light to the formation of a global science policy panel (akin to the intergovernmental panel on climate change) on biodiversity & ecosystem services. The new body expected to bridge the gulf between scientific research & urgent political action need to halt biodiversity loss.
It expected that the task force would mitigate the crisis-48,000 species were assessed to be at the risk of extinction in 2009. The annual damage to ‘nature capital’ is estimated to be around $2-4.5 trillion.
