Preface It has been commonly accepted that biological diversity is important as a natural resource and also for functioning of the ecosystem which provides us with ecosystem services essential for human well-being, although biodiversity loss is continuing both on regional and global scales. To provide a quantum stepforwardinadvancingsciencethatoptimizesthesynergybetweendevelopment and biodiversity conservation in Asia, we have published two volumes from the Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Observation Network (AP-BON): The Biodiversity Observation Network in the Asia-Pacific Region: Toward Further Development ofMonitoringandIntegrativeObservationsandAssessments.Inthosetwobooks, we have mainly introduced the status quo of biodiversity monitoring in Asia, together with advanced concepts and methods for biodiversity and ecosystem service. In October 2014, the 12th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD-COP12) was held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. According to the mid-term review of progress toward the goals of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020 and the Aichi Biodiversity Targets using the fourth edition of the Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO4) as background material, it was recognized that we had made progress toward meeting some elements of most Aichi Biodiversity Targets. However, in most cases, these advances will not be enough to achieve the targets, and further urgent and effective action is needed to reduce the threats to biodiversity and to prevent its continued decline. At CBD-COP12, the “Gangwon Declaration”, the report from the ministerial level meeting where sustainable development with special reference to biodiversity was discussed, was adopted, and the significant contribution of biodiversity due to its critical foundation of the Earth systemonwhichhumanwell-beingdependsisclearlystated. In November 2012, we held the International Workshop on Freshwater Bio- diversity Conservation in Asia at Kyushu University, Japan, to discuss how to identify the biodiversity hotspots, appropriate methods to identify the drivers of biodiversity loss of particular freshwater systems, and data sharing among v vi Preface Asian countries. The chapters drawn from the workshop presentations dominate in this third volume from AP-BON, referring to local biodiversity, management and conservation of biodiversity, and newly developed concepts and method- ologies infreshwater systems. Inaddition, we also have invited somechapters on a marine system and ecosystem service and socioeconomic aspects with special referencetobiodiversitybecauseoftheanalogytofreshwaterecosystems. The first part, “Local Biodiversity and Its Threats”, consists of four chapters. Ourplanetiscurrentlyfacingafreshwaterbiodiversitycrisis,andthekeytopreventing furtherextinctionisfoundbyunderstandingthethreatsfacingaquatichabitats. Better management of biodiversity conservation requires frequent and spatiallydetailedassessmentsofspeciesnumbersanddistributions.Tocollectsuch information, laborious and expensive support is needed. The usefulness of modern sophisticatedtechnologiesthatmeasurethedistributionandstatusofbiodiversityis probablyanidealwaytogatherthesecrucialdata.Thusinthesecondpart,“Advanced MethodsofBiodiversityMonitoring”,weincludeachapteronremotesensingtech- nologyappliedtoaeutrophiclakeandanotherchapterfrommarineseagrassbeds.

We hope the present book will be informative for all the stakeholders interested in biodiversity issues: researchers, policy (decision) makers, NPOs, NGOs,andindustriesrelatedtoenvironmentalissues. We are very grateful to the Ministry of Environment, Japan, for providing administrative and financial support. Also, we would like to thank the authors for submitting their manuscripts; to the Secretariat of DIVERSITAS of the Western Pacific and Asia (DIWPA) for its formatting submitted manuscripts; andtothepublisherSpringerforitspatiencewithourdelayededitingofthebook.
