Biodiversity

 What is the general situation
with these ISSUES?
- Reliable baseline needed for effective management of our biological
resources is often not available. Estimates of the rate and extent
of destruction of habitats, and loss of species are generally
sketchy and incomplete.
- Degradation of biological resources continues because of an
overall lack of public awareness, economic pressures to use resources
at unsustainable levels, and inadequate enforcement of laws and
regulations.
- Policies and guidelines related to collection, export and ownership
rights of genetic materials have yet to be formulated.
