  • Mediterranean Basin Ecosystem Profile Overview About CEPF
    Mediterranean Basin ecosystem profile overview about CEPF Established in 2000, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a global leader in enabling civil society to participate in and influence the conservation of some of the world’s most critical ecosystems. CEPF is a joint initiative of l’Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Conservation International, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the World Bank. CEPF is unique among funding mechanisms in that it focuses on high-priority biological areas rather than political boundaries and examines conservation threats on a landscape scale. From this perspective, CEPF seeks to identify and support a regional, rather than a national, approach to achieving conservation outcomes and engages a wide range of public and private institutions to address conservation needs through coordinated regional efforts. Cover photo: Coastal landscape, north coast of Menorca, Spain © Francis Abbott/npl/Minden Pictures introduction The Mediterranean Basin—which stretches across 2 million square kilometers and 34 countries, east from Portugal to Jordan, and south from northern Italy to Cape Verde—is one of 34 biodiversity hotspots identified around the globe, Earth’s most biologically rich yet threatened areas. Its status as a hotspot, as well as the unique biological, economic and cultural importance of the Mediterranean Basin, led CEPF to create a conservation strategy for the entire region. The strategy, known as the Mediterranean Basin Ecosystem Profile, will guide CEPF’s highly targeted investment in the region—$10 million, to be disbursed via grants to civil society. But the profile, which was developed through the input of more than 90 organizations based or working in the region, is much more than CEPF’s strategy.

However, two key regions – the Balkans and the Black Sea – are not yet fully incorporated into this vision, and the lack of coherent strategies addressing these regions threat- ens to prevent Europe from achieving its full potential. The Balkans and the Black Sea region are characterised by numerous common risks and challenges, including fragile statehood, a shared history of violent conflict, unconsolidated democratisation and economic underdevelopment.

  • The Three Mediterranean Climates
    Middle States Geographer, 2005, 38:52-60 THREE CONFLATED DEFINITIONS OF MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATES Mark A. Blumler Department of Geography SUNY Binghamton Binghamton, NY 13902-6000 ABSTRACT: "Mediterranean climate" has in effect three different definitions: 1) climate of the Mediterranean Sea and bordering land areas; 2) climate that favors broad-leaved, evergreen, sclerophyllous shrubs and trees; 3) winter-wet, summer-dry climate. These three definitions frequently are conflated, giving rise to considerable confusion and misstatement in the literature on biomes, vegetation-environment relationships, and climate change. Portions of the Mediterranean region do not have winter-wet, summer-dry climate, while parts that do, may not have evergreen sclerophylls. Places away from the Mediterranean Sea, such as the Zagros foothills, have more mediterranean climate than anywhere around the Sea under the third definition. Broad-leaved evergreen sclerophylls dominate some regions with non-mediterranean climates, typically with summer precipitation maximum as well as winter rain, and short droughts in spring and fall. Thus, such plants may be said to characteristize subtropical semi-arid regions. On the other hand, where summer drought is most severe, i.e., the most mediterranean climate under definition 3, broad-leaved evergreen sclerophylls are rare to absent. Rather than correlating with sclerophyll dominance, regions of extreme winter-wet, summer-dry climate characteristically support a predominance of annuals, the life form best adapted to seasonal rainfall regimes. Given the importance of useful forecasting of vegetation and climate change under greenhouse warming, it is imperative that biome maps begin to reflect the complexities of vegetation-climate relationships. INTRODUCTION literature also is replete with inaccurate statements about mediterranean regions.

  • Mediterranean Sea
    Mediterranean Sea Essay by Brandon Charles Seychell The Mediterranean Sea The Mediterranean Sea has been one of the world's most important trade routes since ancient times. Many early civilisations, including those of Egypt, Greece, Phoenicia and Rome, developed along its shores. Today, the islands and coastal areas of the Mediterranean rank among the most popular tourist attractions in the world. Location and size The Latin word Mediterranean means in the middle of land, and land almost completely surrounds the Mediterranean Sea. Europe lies to the north, Asia to the east and Africa to the south. On the west, the Strait of Gibraltar connects the Mediterranean with the Atlantic Ocean. Another strait, the Dardanelles, links the Mediterranean on the east with the sea of Marmara, the Bosporus and the Black Sea. On the south-east, the Isthmus of Suez separates the Mediterranean and Red seas. The Suez Canal, an artificial waterway, crosses this thin strip of land. Ships sail through the canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. The Mediterranean covers about 2,510,000km2. The Black Sea, which is sometimes considered as part of the Mediterranean, has an area of about 507,900km2. Several other arms of the Mediterranean are large enough to be called seas. They include the Adriatic, Aegean, Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. The Mediterranean has a maximum length of about 3,540km, between the Strait of Gibraltar and Iskenderun, Turkey. The widest part lies between Libya and Yugoslavia, a distance of about 970km. The seabed An underwater ridge between Sicily and Tunisia divides the Mediterranean into two basins.

  • Is Europe a Proper Continent? Is the Mediterranean a Proper Sea?
    Is Europe a proper continent? Is the Mediterranean a proper sea? Taking a ‘geography conundrums approach’ this lesson invites learners to think critically about what we mean by terms such as ‘continent’ and ‘sea’. This lesson makes use of the unlabelled map of Europe from the previous session. This will now be marked up with the pupil’s initial findings. Key questions How does Europe perform as a continent which is not a ‘contiguous land mass surrounded by water’? Is there one ‘Europe’, or are there many ‘Europes’? What is the difference between a small sea and a big lake? Making sense of seas within seas: the Tyrrhenian, Ligurian, Adriatic, Cretan and Aegean Seas. Is the Black Sea a part of the Mediterranean? What continent is the Mediterranean in? Subject content areas Locational and place knowledge: Building on the previous lesson, this will further develop learners’ locational and place knowledge, but at a more precise scale. Human and Physical Geography: This lesson will help students “describe and understand key aspects of physical geography”, including seas, coasts, and continental plates. Geographical Skills and Fieldwork: This lesson will further develop skills for mapworking, enquiry, research and critical thinking - including using and interpreting “a range of sources of geographical information.” It will explore, test and develop learners’ use of geographical terminology.
