	Ecoregion conservation status - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conservation status of the Global 200 ecoregions is used to classify ecoregions into one of three broad categories: "critical/endangered", "vulnerable", or "relatively stable/relatively intact".
		The conservation status of terrestrial ecoregions is noted : CE for critical or endangered, V for vulnerable, and RS for relatively stable or intact.
		Conservation status was based on landscape (or equivalent for freshwater and marine ecoregions), such as total habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, degree of degradation, degree of protection needed, degree of urgency for conservation needs, and types of conservation practiced or required.

	Global 200
		Global 200 is an ecological land classification proposed by the WWF.
		WWF has identified ecoregions - collectively known as The Global 200 (but are actually 233 regions), which are crucial to the conservation of global biodiversity.
		Selection of the ecoregions was based on analyses of species richness[?], species endemism[?], unique higher taxa, unusual ecological or evolutionary phenomena, and global rarity of major habitat types.

	Global Warming
		Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
		The primary effect of global warming is increasing carbon dioxide and increasing global average surface temperature.
		Increasing global temperature means that ecosystems may change; some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibly to extinction) because of changing conditions, while others may flourish.

	Global 200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Global 200 is the list of ecoregions identified by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as priorities for conservation.
		Of these ecoregions, the WWF selected the Global 200 as the ecoregions most crucial to the conservation of global biodiversity.
		Global 200 ecoregion list is most helpful to conservation efforts at a regional scale: local deforestation, destruction of swamp habitats, degradation of soils, etc. However, certain phenomena, such as bird or whale migration, depend on more complex parameters not used to define the current database, such as atmospheric currents and dynamic pelagic ecosystems.

	Global warming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Global mean surface temperatures 1856-2004 Global warming is a term used to describe an increase over time of the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
		Use of the term "global warming" generally implies a human influence — the more neutral term climate change is usually used for a change in climate with no presumption as to cause and no characterization of the kind of change involved, such as the Ice Ages.
		Global warming appears to be partially countering the improvements in the ozone layer caused by the reduction in the use of ozone-destroying chemicals achieved through the Montreal Protocol.

	WWF - About Global Ecoregions
		The Global Ecoregions is a science-based global ranking of the Earth's most biologically outstanding terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats.
		The aim of the Global Ecoregions analysis is to ensure that the full range of ecosystems is represented within regional conservation and development strategies, so that conservation efforts around the world contribute to a global biodiversity strategy.
		Ecoregions are large areas of relatively uniform climate that harbour a characteristic set of species and ecological communities.

	sociology - Global warming
		Global warming is a term used to describe an increase over time of the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
		Global warming theories attempt to account for the rise in average global temperatures since the late 19th century (0.6 ± 0.2°C) [1] [2] and assess the extent to which the effects are due to human causes.
		The most common global warming theories attribute temperature increases to increases in the greenhouse effect caused primarily by anthropogenic (human-generated) carbon dioxide and to possible increases in solar activity.

		Global warming theories attempt to assess the extent to which increases in carbon dioxide levels affect the global climate though both direct and indirect means.
		The 1995 IPCC report concluded that "The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate"; this was strengthened in the 2001 TAR to "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities".
		Global warming from CO radiative forcing is expected (perhaps somewhat surprisingly) to cool the stratosphere.

		The species living in the ecoregion’s various habitats are very different from each other, and some can’t be found anywhere else.
		When the supercontinent Gondwanaland split apart about 200 million years ago, what was to become Australia kept many of the plant species that it shared with Asia and South America.
		A birder would be challenged to identify a long list of unusual species, including red-winged wrens, noisy scrub birds, regent parrots, shining bronze cuckoos, splendid fairywrens, singing honeyeaters, red wattlebirds, and mistletoe birds.

		It is thought by some geologists that the Earth experienced global warming in the early Jurassic period, with average temperatures rising by 5andnbsp;Â°C. Research by the Open University published in Geology (32: 157andndash;160, 2004 30) indicates that this caused the rate of rock weathering to increase by 400%.
		Global warming is already causing death and disease across the world through flooding, environmental destruction, heatwaves and other extreme weather events, according to a Lancet study (Reuters, February 9, 2006, archived at: www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0209-05.htm).
		Secondary evidence of global warming andmdash; lessened snow cover, rising sea levels, weather changes andmdash; provides examples of consequences of global warming that may influence not only human activities but also the ecosystems.

	Global Biodiversity Assessment
		If recent rates of loss of closed tropical forest (about 1% globally per year) were to continue for the next 30 years, the equilibrium number of species in the forest, as calculated by species-area techniques, would be reduced by approximately 5 to 10%.
		Today, the scale of human impacts on the global biosphere is increasing dramatically due to activities that arise from the rapid growth in human population and increasing rates of consumption.
		An additional 200 species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans, frogs, turtles and aquatic plants are grown for food and other products, and an increasing number of fungi and other microorganisms are also eaten or used in fermentation processes, in industrial processes, or for drugs.
