Initial Timetable of Activities for bioSUSTAINABILITY
This table highlights planned activities for the bioSUSTAINABILITY Core Project of DIVERSITAS, indicating short- (Phase 1), medium- (Phase 2), and long-term (Phase 3) initiatives. More activities will be added as the Project develops and as more people become involved. |

Phase 1
Years 0 to 2
(2004-2005) |
Phase 2
Years 3 to 5 (2006-2008) |
Phase 3
Years 6 to 10
(2009-2014) |
| Focus 1. Effectiveness of current conservation measures |
| Task 1.1
Measuring biological diversity |
| · Review existing literature on biodiversity measures |
|
|
|
| · Compare behaviour and performance of biodiversity measures in a set of biomes |
|
|
|
| Task 1.2
Criteria for measuring strategies and policies |
| · Review existing conservation strategies and policies |
|
|
|
| · Develop criteria for evaluating the success of conservation policies |
|
|
| Task 1.3 Role of formal and informal institutions for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity |
| · Review these roles |
|
|
| · Analyse how the results of conservation policies may vary under institutions |
|
|
|
| Task 1.4 Mismatches between biological, economic and political boundaries |
| · Compile cases of mismatches between biological, economic and political boundaries |
|
| Focus 2. Social, political and economic drivers of biodiversity loss |
| · Identify social, political and economic characteristics of countries suffering from massive biodiversity loss |
|
|
|
· Explore these trends, variations and exceptions at the ecosystem and geographical region scale by econometric analyses
|
|
|
|
Focus 3. Social choice and decision making
|
| Task 3.1 Full-cost accounting
|
| · Develop methods to measure human impacts, both on biodiversity and on ecosystem services |
|
|
|
| · Review the values of biodiversity and ecosystem services |
|
|
|
| · Assess whether valuation approaches provide complete estimates of value |
|
· Identify studies in which complete accounting leads to improve decision making
|
|
|
|
|
Task 3.2 Decision making with multiple stakeholder groups
|
| · Compare case studies of biodiversity conservation involving multiple stakeholders |
|
· Analyse factors contributing to successful conservation programmes involving multiple stakeholders
|
|
|
|
Task 3.3 Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the face of uncertainty |
| · Evaluate the potential of a range of approaches to assess the sustainability of coupled socio-ecological systems |
|
|
| · Set up case studies to test the best-practice approach |
|
|
|
| Project Wide |
| · Establish International Project Office |
 |
|
|
| · Provide scientific syntheses and recommendations for the Convention on Biological Diversity |
 |
| · Capacity building |
