Resumen de Forget the fish: Save the seas!
Marshall examines a Red List of endangered ecosystems sorts the ones that need saving from those that can be left. The Red List of Ecosystems is a new way of assessing the global health of nature. It has been developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and is based on its Red List of Threatened Species, which assesses threats to species from Parana pine trees to pandas. The new Red List is a step beyond anything currently being done in national parks and marine protected areas: it will be a standardized assessment of all the world's ecosystems, including ones transformed by humans, and should allow direct comparisons between them. This information will then be used to galvanize governments, help conservationists weigh up where to focus their attention, and where possible or worthwhile, provide suggestions of how to rehabilitate the land.
