A Constructed Bridge between Chinese Elegant Ideology to Environmental Mobilization

A bridge built between elegant Chinese ideology and environmental mobilization: from the life posture of scholars in the Tang and Song dynasties to the awakening of environmental awareness. A while ago I was very fortunate enough to learn something about the current state of biodiversity in China and the world, and I would like to share some of it with you here first. There are currently about 3,000 nature reserves of various levels in China for protection and special management of biodiversity and its environment, geological formations, and water resources, including but not limited to Changbai Mountain, Wolong, Tianmu Mountain, and many more.

Diversity and Current State of Fish Communities of the Reserve “Utrish” (Caucasian Coast of the Black Sea, Abrau Peninsula)

Abstract The article is focused on the current state of biodiversity in the aquatic environment of the Utrish Nature Reserve. Implementation of the multi-level monitoring program for fish and crustacean fauna, conducted in the waters of the Utrish Nature Reserve during the period 2016-2018, using classical methods of biological analysis, as well as visual underwater fish counting, allowed us to assess the overall state of biodiversity in this area as sufficiently stable. The population status of the model indicator species, the European black scorpionfish Scorpaena porcus, was also stable during this period, confirming the effectiveness of protective measures in this area. Due to the continued increase in anthropogenic pressure on coastal marine biocenoses, monitoring studies require further continuation.

Current state of biodiversity and hydrological-hydrochemical regime of the Mezhdurechensk reservoir of the Republic of Karakalpakstan

The paper is devoted to the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the zooplankton of the Mezhdurechensky reservoir. The hydrological and hydrochemical regime of the Mezhdurechensky reservoir, which is highly dynamic and completely depends on the volume of river flow, has been studied. The species composition of the fish population of the Mezhdurechensk reservoir is given.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ БИОРЕСУРСОВ КАРКАРАЛИНСКИХ ГОР

In recent years, low-mountain massifs of Central Kazakhstan have been the least studied areas. Flora is an integral part of geosystems and is the main indicator of natural and anthropogenic changes. The objective of this paper is to review the use of bioresources in the Karkaraly Lowlands and Karkaraly State National Nature Park (KSNNP). The descriptive method of research was used while writing this paper, the first part of which focuses on the physical and geographical description of the area, as well as the habitat. Further, the author focuses on the method of ecological assessment of the forest area and the method for assessing biodiversity, and their importance. To preserve the phytocenosis and fauna in the Karkaraly Lowlands, it is necessary to assess the current state of biodiversity, assess their structure and the potential for rational use. While writing the article, the causes of environmental tensions in the KSNNP area of both anthropogenic and natural origin were outlined. The review of the use of the area's bioresources provides an opportunity to monitor biodiversity in KSNNP in the future. The author concludes the article with a list of recommendations to address the problems of bioresources use in the Karkaraly Mountains.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF INVENTORY, MONITORING AND INFORMATION NETWORKS SYSTEM OF FAUNAL DIVERSITY IN SOUTH SUMATRA

Despite high attention and commitment of Indonesia in biodiversity conservation and its habitat, however, loss of biodiversity and habitat deforestation is also still high. Deforestation rate in Indonesia between period of 2000-2012 reach up 6.02 million ha, and approximately onethird of which is in Sumatra Island. As the fulfillment of CBD and Aichi targets, and in line with the mandate of the Law on the Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems and IBSAP (Indonesian Biodiversity Strategy & Action Plan 2015-2020), we try to support the requires data as well as information on the current state of biodiversity. The aims are to develop an inventory system of biodiversity needed to establish baseline data on biodiversity including its conservation status in South Sumatra, develop a biodiversity monitoring system with qualitative parameters that can be used in the determination and monitoring of degradation rates of biodiversity, and the establishment of data management system and information network of fauna biodiversity in South Sumatera so that it can be utilized in monitoring and reporting of biodiversity at regional, national and international level at the international level. We conduct a comprehensive review of methods and techniques of inventory and monitoring of fauna biodiversity, especially those that have been done in the area of South Sumatra Province. We also analysis of data needs and information network of fauna biodiversity in South Sumatra. The results is shows in the web-application database, called the South Sumatran Biodiversity Information Networks, or SSBIN, and could preview at http://ssbin.unsri.ac.id/.Keywords: south sumatra, biodiversity, information, networks, SSBIN.
