They came to share ideas on how to build a sustainable society. It was divided into themes and goals. For instance, they decided that by 2050, a sustainable relationship with biodiversity will be established through governance that is more transparent and effective, balancing global and local responsibilities. For this theme, they prioritized diverse actions that shall be implemented, which included, &ldquo;Sustainability is the core business of governments\/ governance, e.g., world trade and finance has been dramatically changed&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Creativity was at the heart of the process. Some ideas were very innovative and participants, especially scientists, were sometimes surprised and delighted by the new perspectives with which they were confronted. For instance, a &ldquo;sustainable and participatory management of land, seascapes and urban areas&rdquo; could be achieved only with the help of scientists who could measure and help implement goals such as: &ldquo;90% of the human population lives in Green Cities (self-sustainable in transport, architecture, infrastructure, water, and waste).&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/feb2011\/Edwin_photos\/Biodiverstiy_Hertz.jpg\" alt=\"Participants of the Belgian Biodiversity Platform summit by Edwin Brosens\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/feb2011\/Edwin_photos\/Biodiverstiy_Hertz202.jpg\" alt=\"Participants of the Belgian Biodiversity Platform summit by Edwin Brosens\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Photos &copy; 2010 Vivian Hertz<\/p>\n<p>November 18-19, 2010:<br \/> The Role of Research<\/p>\n<p>The objective of these 2 days was to discuss how biodiversity research in Europe could address the needs and visions identified in the first phase of November 16-17.

Through photographs, photographers can help acquire the much needed global attention and interest in biodiversity. It is important for nature photographers to shoot environmental photos. We <em>must show<\/em> people the pressures placed on nature! We should strive towards relaying the message&#8211;we live together with nature but a short time! Everyone who comes to understand biodiversity will understand the great need for capturing many new photos around this topic.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><br \/> Photo Examples<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Caterpillars of the Cinnabar Butterfly are consuming a plant, while a few meters behind there are girls riding their bikes home from school. They look at me, but they don&#8217;t know why I&rsquo;m sitting there taking photos of a plant along the road. And behind them a large truck speeds past, leaving in its wake diesel fumes wafting in the air.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/feb2011\/Edwin_photos\/Biodiverstiy_DSC00779.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Cinnabar Butterfly caterpillars by Edwin Brosens\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright &copy; Edwin Brosens All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Yes, it is a moment cached in 1\/60 second shutter speed, but the real shutter speed is 1.5 hours + 1\/60 sec.

Patience is the key!<\/p>\n<p> Sony Apha 700 + 20\/1.8 + Tripod &amp; Flash, F\/14 @ 1\/60 sec. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In June of 2009 I paid an evening visit to the De Moeren nature reserve. During the time I spent photographing, a farmer came back from his field with a large car. I framed this caterpillar while it was hiding under a leaf to protect itself from birds, but at that moment its only enemy was gasses emitted from the car. These kinds of photos are very important to draw people&rsquo;s attention to how short of time we live with nature. Every individual living species is important for the ecosystem and every loss of a species influences the health of humans and all other living organism.<\/p>\n<p>Conservation photographers also document the damage people have done and are doing to our planet Earth, but it is my goal to document the positive aspects and show the beauty of nature. It is my hope to touch the hearts of many through my nature photos. It is my hope that others will find that link to nature within them and then take action to support it for the future of our planet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/feb2011\/Edwin_photos\/Biodiversity_CaterpillarYellowtale_farmer.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Caterpillar of Yellowtale by Edwin Brosens\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/> Copyright &copy; Edwin Brosens All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caterpillar of Yellowtale &#8211; farmer with car back from field<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sony Apha 700 + 20\/1.8 + Flash, F\/4.5 @ 1\/20 sec.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Science<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Research into any topic of biodiversity is important to obtain a better understanding of the complex combination of elements that live on our planet.

He specializes in parasitic wasps&#8211;mainly the Braconidae. Parasitic wasps have an important place into our ecosystem. They feed mainly on caterpillars, along with other insects such as spiders and grasshoppers. If it were not for the parasitic wasps keeping the population of caterpillar larva in balance, the caterpillars would eat large amounts of vegetation before it could flower, pollinate and seed for the next year. You could refer to them as agricultural pest controllers!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/feb2011\/Edwin_photos\/Biodiverstiy_DSC07163.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Professor Kees Van Achterberg by Edwin Brosens\" width=\"330\" height=\"495\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/> Copyright &copy; Edwin Brosens All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Kees Van Achterberg from Naturalis is examining a parasitic wasp from Russia.<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sony Apha 700 + 20\/1.8 + Flash, F\/10 @ 1\/40 sec.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/feb2011\/Edwin_photos\/Biodiverstiy_DSC07122.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Student Chundan Hong from China at microscope by Edwin Brosens\" width=\"330\" height=\"495\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/> Copyright &copy; Edwin Brosens All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/> Student Chundan Hong from China is preparing a parasitic wasp so microscopic photos can be taken for cataloging.<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sony Apha 700 + 20\/1.8 + Flash, F\/9 @ 1\/15 sec.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Worldwide there are more than 330.00 species of parasitic wasps, so by knowing their role in the ecosystem, we understand how the balance within nature&rsquo;s system would be greatly disrupted should just this one element disappear from our environment.<\/p>\n<p>From the information obtained about the parasitic wasp, you begin to see the important role that scientific research plays within this complex system in which we live.
