Presentation

on

Biodiversity Management,Forest Management, and

Water Management.


2/30

Meaning of Biodiversity:

Biodiversity is the variety and variability oflife on Earth. It encompasses the

differences within and among all living

organisms at their different levels of

biological organization genes, species,

populations, communities, habitats as well

as their interactions.


3/30

Biodiversity Management:

To help companies manage theirenvironmental impacts, environmental

management systems (EMS) have

been developed.


4/30

Environmental Managements

Systems (EMS)Environmental management system (EMS)refers to the management of an organization'senvironmental programs in a comprehensive,systematic, planned and documented manner. Itincludes the organizational structure, planning

and resources for developing, implementing andmaintaining policy for environmental.

Identifying the significant environmental aspectsof the company.

Setting targets to reduce environmental impact.

Measuring progress in reaching the targets. Adjusting targets or setting new targets with

information acquired by measuring the progressin order to achieve continuous improvement


5/30

The best known Environmental

management systems are:

ISO 14.001

EMAS.


6/30

What is ISO 14.001

ISO 14.001 is an international environmental

management system developed by ISO

(International Organization for Standardization).

The prefix 14 indicates it is an environmental

management system, the number 001 that it is

a general management system.

ISO 14.001 only implicitly focuses onbiodiversity.


7/30

What is the mean of EMAS?

EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme)is a European EMS that can only be used byorganizations (public and private) in EU

countries. For an organization to become EMAS

certified, it has to satisfy more requirementsthan to receive the ISO 14.001 certification.

it requires an organization to publish anenvironmental statement.


8/30

Impact on biodiversity:

Direct.

Indirect.


9/30

For example:

In cement industry:

Direct impacts: Conversion/destruction of habitats through land clearance for the development of

production and mining sites, as well as the construction of access roads and other

auxiliary infrastructures.

Alteration of habitats through mining, management and rehabilitation of quarries .

Disturbance of wildlife by noise from blasting and quarry traffic, and increased human

access.

Emission of pollutants to land (e.g. deposits of cement kiln dust), air (dust emissions)

and water (run-off from tailings) .


10/30

Indirect impacts: Contributions to climate change (which in turn has a major impact

on biodiversity) caused by the emissions of the cement plants, the

use of energy in cement production and transportation

Procurement processes within the companys supply chains and theproducts it purchases (e.g. fuel, additives, construction of new

plants)

Social and associated environmental changes that might be caused

locally or regionally through company operations.

Forest management


12/30

Definition:

Forest management is providing a forest theproper care so that it remains healthy and

vigorous and provides the products and the

amenities the landowner desires.

"Forest management is the application of

appropriate technical forestry principles,

practices, and business techniques (e.g.,

accounting, cost/benefit analysis, etc.) to themanagement of a forest to achieve the owner's

objectives."


13/30

The Planning Process:

1)Identify Landowner Objectives.

Examples of Forest Landowner Objectives:

Source of Income

Product Yield Security

Wildlife Habitat

Pride & Self-Satisfaction

2)Resource inventory

3) Develop and Implement the Management Strategy

4) Review the Management Plan


14/30

Types of Written Plans :

Management and Stewardship Plans.

Practice/Activity Plan.


15/30

Why Have a Forest Management

Plan?

Forest management plans allow youto sort out what you really want from

your forest and help you successfully

and efficiently reach your goals.


16/30

How Do You Do Forest Management

Planning?

The six basic steps for developing a forestmanagement plan for your property are:

1. Seek the assistance of a professional.

2. Determine your goals and objectives.

3. Inventory and evaluate your resources. 4. Formulate an activity schedule.

5. Implement activities and monitor progresstoward meeting your intended goals.

6. Review your plan every few years and update itwhen necessary.


17/30

Components of a Forest

Management Plan:

Should include:

1) Ownership goals and management objectives: this is theheart of the plan and describes what you want to gain from yourproperty and resources.

2) Maps: help to describe the property and resources and mayinclude topographic maps, soils maps, cover type or standmaps, and aerial photos, if available.

3) Property boundary description: a legal description of yourproperty location and acreage.

4) Resource inventory data: descriptions of water bodies,

wildlife, vegetation, soils, topography, and access. Timberinventory data should include information on the species, sizes,quality, and quantity of timber; stand structure and condition;and the presence and extent of forest pests (bark beetles,mistletoe, etc).


18/30

5) Management recommendations:detailed management options andhow they relate to ownership goalsand objectives.

6) Activity schedule forrecommendations: specifies a timelinefor management activities.


19/30

Watermanagement


20/30

Water management:

Water management is the activity ofplanning, developing, distributing and

managing the optimum use of water

resources. Water management is concerned with

the use of water in industry and

agriculture.


21/30

Water resources:

Water resources are defined as thesources by which we can get the

water for our different types of uses

and also those sources that gives thehuge benefit to the life of the humans

is referred to as the water resources.

The water that is used in theproduction of different types of useful

products also included in the water

resources


22/30

Types of water resources:

Saltwater resources.

Surface water resources.

Ground water resources.


23/30

Ninety-seven percent of the

water on the Earth is salt

water. Only three percent is

fresh water; slightly over two

thirds of this is frozen in

glaciers and polar ice caps.

The remaining unfrozen

freshwater is found mainly as

groundwater, with only a smallfraction present above ground

or in the air


24/30

Factors Affecting the Water

resources:

Climate.

Physiographic factor.


25/30

Industry bodies are encouraging companies by recognizing

their proactive implementation of sustainable watermanagement programs

Initiatives


Recycling water from cooling towers

Invested $0.47 MM for water conservation and $4.6 MM for ongoing

projects in 2006-2007

Installed 9 check dams and 18 recharge wells for water harvesting

Set up 36 lift irrigation projects, 27 small check damsand 150 tanks for rainwater harvesting at Renukoot, Uttar

Pradesh between 2004-2007

Provided irrigation water for 16,000 Hectares of land,

increasing agricultural production by 17,850 mt and

benefiting 20,655 farmers

Conclusion:

Water, forest and biodiversitymanagement has great impact on

human and human activities. Water is

essential for a wide range of humanactivities. It is essentials to human

health. And biodiversity management

is manage the environmental impact.And forest management provides the

products and the aminities the

landowner objectives.
