Definition of Biodiversity
CBD Article 2
‘The variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes of which they are part, including the diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.’

Key points -Sri Lanka is among 34 global biodiversity hot spots-Richness- highest per unit area in Asia-Biodiversity Governance - 30 state institutions90 laws (direct & indirect) 40 MEAs (25 conventions plus protocols, treaties, agreements & amendments)Many policies/strategies/action plans

How biodiversity get impacted by CC?
-Too much water where we don't need-Too little water where we need more-Too much water when we don't need -Too little water when we need more-Too hot everywhere-Salinity???

ISSUESISSUES OF CC
Forest die back
Forest fires
Illigal timber fellings
Invasive plants
Human elephant conflict
(You name it !!!!)

How can we adapt?
- Identify most vulnerable biodiversity assets- Identify adaptation thrust areas - Plan for short & long term changes- Allocate resources accordingly - Act on ecosystem basis
![Page 16: Biodiversity and Climate Change: Avenues for Adaptation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050811/58ee21731a28abec258b45a3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Basic ideas of Hopkin’s Principles of adapting Biodiversity under CC
- Conserve what you already have- Reduce non-climatic pressures- Develop resilient & diverse ecosystems- Enhance healthy landscape linkages - Make informed decisions- Harmonize adaptation with mitigation & human dimension

Awareness & Capacity Building

Focus on sustainable timber use, not in destructive manner

Plant trees in available spaces Accommodate some animals in urban landscape

Tree dominated home gardens

Use less fire wood

Organic Home garden – reduce food miles, high productivity per ha & no chemical pollution
Go for intensive agriculture
Low productive EXTENSIVE agriculture
