Several recent studies suggest that the current level of investment in conservation is far below what is needed to halt biodiversity loss. While there is general consensus within the conservation community that more resources are needed. After ECO 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) entered into force, with its objectives of conserving biological diversity, ensuring sustainable use of biological resources, and equitably sharing the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. But this initiatives did not stop the loss of biodiversity with human actions around the natural resources of the planet.


Now it's very important to you know more about our biodiversity and the list of endangered species. Every country has this list and the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) makes available on line the species around the world is endangered and monitoring with a great protocol of informations of each one of this species (http://www.iucn.org).


Also in Brazil we having used this international tool to evaluate the endangered species through ICMBIO (Instituto Chico Mendes) where you can consult on line the list of endangered brazilian species (http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/biodiversidade/fauna-brasileira/lista-de-especies.html)
