Objective
The objective of this site is to provide a gateway or portal to the scientific information that exists elsewhere on conservation of biodiversity with regard to Global Climate Change (Global Warming).
It is oriented to finding solutions or adaptations to conservation problems involving Global Climate Change.
This is not a site for opinions about Global Climate Change or Global Warming
This is a scientific wiki, devoted to compiling and disseminating information, summaries, and reviews about conservation of biodiversity and how biodiversity is affected by Global Climate change and Global Warming. This is not a site for you to express your opinions about the existence or non-existence of Global Warming.
- Site owner reserves the right to block any user who does not follow these rules or abuses any other user.
- Site owner reserves the right to delete any article deemed inappropriate.
- Discussion of scientific merit of any article is encouraged.
Contents
The power of this website comes from its organization, which is designed to help those seeking information on climate change and biodiversity conservation. You may wish to browse the categories of information (see the Table of Contents, below). Or you may locate information by searching the wiki (use the search box to the left). Either method should allow you to quickly find an article and links to resources on the subject you are interested in.
Please Contribute
You are welcome to contribute information to this wiki.
Because the objective of this site is to provide a portal or entry point into the research and information available about conservation of biodiversity and Global Climate Change, please help other users by directing them to important information, articles, or websites.
You may do this by contributing an article, a summary, a review, or just link to a source of information. The information may be either your own or information you have encountered elsewhere in the literature or published electronically. Please note that information you provide on this website is made available under the GNU Free Documentation License.
This wiki uses the same software as Wikipedia, so all of its commands and structure is the same as Wikipedia (except that you must create an account and be logged in to edit; but if you just want to read or search, no registration is necessary). If you already have experience using Wikipedia, you may dive in immediately. Otherwise, you may want to try the sandbox first. Here are instructions on how to make a new page.
To make a new article (on a blank page), edit an already-existing one (such as the Contents page), and create an internal link with the name of the page you want to create. Save the page you are editing, and click on the new link you created. A new, blank page with that name will open up--then start putting in your text.
Suggested Topics for Articles
- Articles should be cover topics on the relationship between conservation of biodiversity and Global climate Change, but the definition is fairly broad.
- Articles should follow the format guidelines.
- They may be:
- Summaries of individual scientific publications (please follow the rules and observe fair use policy).
- Reviews of scientific publications.
- Summaries of popular-style articles (for example, newspaper articles on a Global Climate Change issue).
- Articles showing negative or positive effects of Global Warming or Global Climate Change are legitimate as long as they are scientific and the source is linked.
- Descriptions of projects being undertaken.
- Refer to peer-reviewed, published materials or non-peer-reviewed materials, either published or unpublished.
- Articles must have links to source material.
- NO opinion articles or articles with a political point of view about Global Warming or Global Climate Change will be allowed.
