Problem
Lack of integrated management of biodiversity
Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Other Names:
Undeveloped ecological planningUnsustainable development of biological resources
Incidence:
The traditional practices of biodiversity management have been weakened over the past few centuries. Examples are the decline of small scale traditional farming methods, mass clearance of land for single purpose uses and the technological overcapacity of modern fishing fleets compared with traditional fishing methods.
