Biological diversity is important for ecosystem function and
services, which in turn is essential for human well-being. Under
the Convention on Biological Diversity, international efforts have
been made to achieve a significant reduction in the current rate of
biodiversity loss. The loss continues, however. The Asia-Pacific
region includes both developing countries with high biodiversity
and developed countries with sophisticated data collection and
analyses, but only limited information about the status quo of
biodiversity in this region has been available. Many Asia-Pacific
countries have rapidly grown their economies and social
infrastructures, causing a loss of biodiversity and requiring an
urgent mandate to achieve a balance between development and
conservation in the region. In December 2009, scientists
successfully organized the Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Observation
Network in the region, to establish a network for research and
monitoring of ecosystems and biodiversity and to build a
cooperative framework. The present volume is the first collection
of information on biodiversity in the Asia-Pacific and represents a
quantum step forward in science that optimizes the synergy between
development and biodiversity conservation.
