Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:22:41 PM

That juxtaposition was stunningly appropriate, for Tony made his name as an evolutionary biologist. His work on the evolution of tolerance to heavy metals in plants growing in contaminated soils remains the clearest and best example of evolution in action, and Darwin would have applauded it.

 The Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER) released its May 2008 Briefing Note on the “Opportunities for Integrating Ecological Restoration & Biological Conservation within the Ecosystem Approach” at the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Ninth Conference of the Parties held in Bonn, Germany, May 19-30, 2008
The SER Briefing Note states that the Ecosystem Approach, as developed by the CBD and others, provides us with a comprehensive framework where ecological restoration and biological conservation represent key support beams. George Gann, SER’s Chair, argues that “as habitat destruction increases and the effects of climate change continue to accelerate, conservation alone is no longer sufficient in protecting the health and continuity of many species”.
