Of those that have been assessed on the IUCN Red List, 63% are considered threatened, and 10% are critically endangered, with ca. 42% of all known turtle species threatened. Without directed strategic conservation planning, a significant portion of turtle diversity could be lost over the next century. Toward that conservation effort, we compiled museum and literature occurrence records for all of the world’s tortoises and freshwater turtle species to determine their distributions and identify priority regions for conservation.

  • Impacts of Land Use on Biodiversity: Development of Spatially Differentiated Global Assessment Methodologies for Life Cycle Assessment
    DISS. ETH NO. xx Impacts of land use on biodiversity: development of spatially differentiated global assessment methodologies for life cycle assessment A dissertation submitted to ETH ZURICH for the degree of Doctor of Sciences presented by LAURA SIMONE DE BAAN Master of Sciences ETH born January 23, 1981 citizen of Steinmaur (ZH), Switzerland accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. Stefanie Hellweg, examiner Prof. Dr. Thomas Koellner, co-examiner Dr. Llorenç Milà i Canals, co-examiner 2013 In Gedenken an Frans Remarks This thesis is a cumulative thesis and consists of five research papers, which were written by several authors. The chapters Introduction and Concluding Remarks were written by myself. For the sake of consistency, I use the personal pronoun ‘we’ throughout this thesis, even in the chapters Introduction and Concluding Remarks. Summary Summary Today, one third of the Earth’s land surface is used for agricultural purposes, which has led to massive changes in global ecosystems. Land use is one of the main current and projected future drivers of biodiversity loss. Because many agricultural commodities are traded globally, their production often affects multiple regions. Therefore, methodologies with global coverage are needed to analyze the effects of land use on biodiversity. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool that assesses environmental impacts over the entire life cycle of products, from the extraction of resources to production, use, and disposal. Although LCA aims to provide information about all relevant environmental impacts, prior to this Ph.D. project, globally applicable methods for capturing the effects of land use on biodiversity did not exist.

  • TANAP Project Biodiversity Offset Strategy
    October 2017 TRANS-ANATOLIAN NATURAL GAS PIPELINE (TANAP) PROJECT Biodiversity Offset Strategy Report Number 1786851/9059 REPORT TANAP - BIODIVERSITY OFFSET STRATEGY Executive Summary The Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) Project is part of the Southern Gas Corridor, which aims to transport the Azeri Natural Gas from Shaz Deniz 2 Gas Field and other fields in the South Caspian Sea to Turkey and Europe. The TANAP Project crosses all of Turkey, from the Georgian border in the east to the Greek border in the west. TANAP is committed to managing the potential effects of the Project on biodiversity by implementing the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy (i.e. avoiding, minimizing, rehabilitating and offsetting). The first three steps of the mitigation hierarchy have been considered by TANAP through the project design, Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), and Biodiversity Action Planning (BAP) processes. However, the calculation of net habitat losses, net gain and the identification of offset measures to compensate the residual impacts were not conducted. This report constitutes the Biodiversity Offset Strategy for the TANAP Project, with the purpose of providing a practical and achievable offset scheme for TANAP and creating a framework to direct actions undertaken to offset the residual effects of the Project after the first three steps of the mitigation hierarchy have been implemented. The Biodiversity Offset Strategy for the TANAP Project was developed in accordance to the requirements of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Performance Requirement 6 (PR6) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standard 6 (PS6) “Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources”.
