[Biofuel] fw: Warning issued over invasive biofuel crops
The Standing Committee of the Bern Convention (the Council of Europe Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats), has adopted a new recommendation for biofuels. The recommendation, which is legally binding to member states, states that biofuel crops of species which are already recognised as invasive in the proposed planting region should be avoided. This has come after the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) - an agency led by the Italian Ministry for the Environment - submitted a report to the Bern Convention which warned that some biofuels crops invade disturbed areas outside cultivated fields and in doing so can impact on native biodiversity. In response to this report, the Bern Convention published Recommendation 141, 2009 in November 2009. The recommendation says that as it is aware that some rural development plans contemplate the use of species which are already invasive in different regions of Europe, the Bern Convention recommends that observer states should: http://www.newenergyfocus.co.uk/do/ecco/view_item?listid=1amp;listcatid=32amp;listitemid=3646amp;section=Bioenergy%20%26%20Waste ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainablelorgbiofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (70,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
