Society for Environmental Conservationist aims at providing individuals from all over the country with the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the wildlife, environment and people of Nigeria. This programme provides the setting to allow students from different part of the country to interact and learn from each other while at the same time allowing them to learn about conservation, wildlife and environmental education and to contribute their knowledge and skills to a worthy cause. Through this means, student, researchers and decision makers, are afforded the opportunity of experiencing how a well-established protected area functions and what is involved in maintaining a project of this nature.

Motto - Conserving Nature, Preserving our Lives. AKANDE HAMMED ADEDAMOLA. FOR:
SOCIETY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONIST

The number of wild animals on Earth has halved in the past 40 years, according to a new analysis. Creatures across land, rivers and the seas are being decimated as humans kill them for food in unsustainable numbers, while polluting or destroying their habitats, the research by scientists at WWF and the Zoological Society of London found. “If half the animals died in London zoo next week it would be front page news,” said Professor Ken Norris, ZSL’s director of science. “But that is happening in the great outdoors. This damage is not inevitable but a consequence of the way we choose to live.” He said nature, which provides food and clean water and air, was essential for human wellbeing. “We have lost one half of the animal population and knowing this is driven by human consumption, this is clearly a call to arms and we must act now,” said Mike Barratt, director of science and policy at WWF. He said more of the Earth must be protected from development and deforestation, while food and energy had to be produced sustainably. The steep decline of animal, fish and bird numbers was calculated by analysing 10,000 different populations, covering 3,000 species in total. This data was then, for the first time, used to create a representative “Living Planet Index” (LPI), reflecting the state of all 45,000 known vertebrates. “We have all heard of the FTSE 100 index, but we have missed the ultimate indicator, the falling trend of species and ecosystems in the world,” said Professor Jonathan Baillie, ZSL’s director of conservation. “If we get [our response] right, we will have a safe and sustainable way of life for the future,” he said. If not, he added, the overuse of resources would ultimately lead to conflicts. He said the LPI was an extremely robust indicator and had been adopted by UN’s internationally- agreed Convention on Biological Diversity as key insight into biodiversity. A second index in the new Living Planet report calculates humanity’s “ecological footprint”, ie the scale at which it is using up natural resources. Currently, the global population is cutting down trees faster than they regrow, catching fish faster than the oceans can restock, pumping water from rivers and aquifers faster than rainfall can replenish them and emitting more climate-warming carbon dioxide than oceans and forests can absorb. The report concludes that today’s average global rate of consumption would need 1.5 planet Earths to sustain it. But four planets would be required to sustain US levels of consumption, or 2.5 Earths to match UK consumption levels. The fastest decline among the animal populations were found in freshwater ecosystems, where numbers have plummeted by 75% since 1970. “Rivers are the bottom of the system,” said Dave Tickner, WWF’s chief freshwater adviser. “Whatever happens on the land, it all ends up in the rivers.” For example, he said, tens of billions of tonnes of effluent are dumped in the Ganges in India every year. As well as pollution, dams and the increasing abstraction of water damage freshwater systems. There are more than 45,000 major dams – 15m or higher – around the world. “These slice rivers up into a thousand pieces,” Tickner said, preventing the healthy flow of water. While population has risen fourfold in the last century, water use has gone up sevenfold. “We are living thirstier and thirstier lives,” he said. But while freshwater species such as the European eel and the hellbender salamander in the US have crashed, recoveries have also been seen. Otters were near extinct in England but thanks to conservation efforts now live in every county. The number of animals living on the land has fallen by 40% since 1970. From forest elephants in central Africa, where poaching rates now exceed birth rates, to the Hoolock gibbon in Bangladesh and European snakes like the meadow and asp vipers, destruction of habitat has seen populations tumble. But again intensive conservation effort can turn declines around, as has happened with tigers in Nepal. Marine animal populations have also fallen by 40% overall, with turtles suffering in particular. Hunting, the destruction of nesting grounds and getting drowned in fishing nets have seen turtle numbers fall by 80%. Some birds have been heavily affected too. The number of grey partridges in the UK sank by 50% since 1970 due to the intensification of farming, while curlew sandpipers in Australia lost 80% of their number in the 20 years to 2005. The biggest declines in animal numbers have been seen in low-income, developing nations, while conservation efforts in rich nations have seen small improvements overall. But the big declines in wildlife in rich nations had already occurred long before the new report’s baseline year of 1970 – the last wolf in the UK was shot in 1680. Also, by importing food and other goods produced via habitat destruction in developing nations, rich nations are “outsourcing” wildlife decline to those countries, said Norris. For example, a third of all the products of deforestation such as timber, beef and soya were exported to the EU between 1990 and 2008. David Nussbaum, chief executive of WWF-UK said: “The scale of the destruction highlighted in this report should be a wake-up call for us all. But 2015 – when the countries of the world are due to come together to agree on a new global climate agreement, as well as a set of sustainable development goals – presents us with a unique opportunity to reverse the trends. “We all – politicians, businesses and people – have an interest, and a responsibility, to act to ensure we protect what we all value: a healthy future for both people and nature.”

Scarlet Macaws Reintroduced
The Scarlet Macaw has made a successful reentry into the rainforests of the Gulf of Mexico. These birds where wiped out from this area about 50 years ago.
Earlier this year, however, 27 macaws were released into the Biosphere Reserve of Los Tuxtlas in southern Veracruz. This is the first step of many in an effort to restore the wild population of these beautiful birds.
Loss of habitat and intense exploitation for the pet trade devastated wild populations of scarer macaw in the past.
Along with introduction back into their previous ranges, education about these animals will be implemented in the areas surrounding the rainforest.
This reintroduction has created the closest population to the U.S. and the northernmost area to see this magnificent animals.

Nigeria's diverse Fauna and Flora life forms constitute Vital resources, critical for the Livelihoods of Nigerian People and the Nation's economies.
However, Nigeria's Biological Resources are Under threat from an ever increasing demand, Anthropogenic Factors and a Changing Climate.
The magnitude and complexity of these threats and their underlying causes pose an overwhelming challenge to conservation in Nigeria. Doing Nothing is not an Option- Nigeria's Biological resources MUST be conserved to ensure the very survival of Nigeria, her people and economies.
WHAT efforts to address the loss of Nigeria's biodiversity are successful today?
WHAT are the challenges and lessons we can learn and apply?
SOCIETY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONIST first meeting will provides a platform to exchange knowledge and experiences, and draw inspiration from each other in the common quest to conserve Biological diversity in the country.
Let us all be Present... Date: October 31st, 2015. Venue: University Of Ibadan.
