1 Climate change is a defining issue of our time, a challenge that already affects and will increasingly impact all nations, including some whose very survival is at risk. The
4 complexity of the problem is intrinsically linked with overarching societal issues, such as poverty reduction, economic development and population growth
7 After a decade of work on integrating Earth- and satellite-based observing networks, thereby establishing new observation methods that have made a tremendous impact on
10 the way climate change and physical oceanic variability is measured, scientists are once again exploring uncharted waters and looking to set a new course for the future at the
13 OceanObs'09 Conference in Venice, Italy on September 21-25. Ten years ago — at the first conference for a comprehensive ocean observing system — scientists envisioned measuring
16 satellite altimetry of sea-surface height with tide gauges and buoy measurements in order to forecast ocean currents. They brainstormed methods for monitoring changes in temperature
19 and salinity in the Southern Ocean and the South Atlantic which had never been systematically monitored. They also drew up a plan for implementing a global array of temperature
22 and salinity floats that would profile the water column down to a depth of 2,000 meters in real time. The initiatives launched at that conference a decade ago have since provided data that
25 fed the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments of human influence on climate change, improved seasonal forecasts crucial for agriculture, hydropower, and
28 storm prediction and provided information invaluable to the lives and safety of mariners. Internet: (adapted).

1 As the evidence and knowledge of the physical effects of climate change continue to grow, the world is starting to dissect how those physical changes (e.g. water scarcity, sea-
4 level rise, increased temperatures), both current and predicted, will intersect with society and economies and the potentially significant environmental and human impacts that will result.
7 Of emerging interest are the potential impacts of climate change on the enjoyment of human rights and wellbeing. Weather and environmental degradation have, as one of
10 multiple stressors, threatened lives and livelihoods throughout history, but what makes this interaction more relevant today is the growing evidence that greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions
13 have contributed and will continue to contribute to long-term or permanent changes to our ecosystems and landscapes and will increase the frequency and severity of extreme events. This
16 amplifies existing social risks and vulnerabilities and will therefore increase the pressures faced by many disadvantaged individuals and populations in Canada and abroad.
19 On January 15 2009, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) released a study on climate change and human rights in response to UN
22 Resolution 7/23 in which signatories expressed concern “that climate change poses an immediate and far-reaching threat to people and communities around the world and has implications
25 for the full enjoyment of human rights.” Internet: (adapted)

Com base na Lei n.⁰ 9.985/2000, que instituiu o Sistema Nacional
de Unidades de Conservação da Natureza (SNUC) e estabeleceu
critérios e normas para a criação, implantação e gestão de unidades
de conservação, julgue o item a seguir.

Áreas úmidas constituem ecossistemas com elevada
produtividade primária, que, associados à complexidade ambiental,
contribuem para as atividades de alimentação, nidificação e
descanso das aves aquáticas. O monitoramento das assembleias de
aves, a longo prazo, disponibiliza informações fundamentais sobre
as flutuações sazonais, cuja riqueza e abundância estão associadas
às características ambientais locais.



A partir do texto acima apresentado, julgue o item seguinte
acerca de normas e procedimentos para a conservação das espécies
aquáticas ameaçadas de extinção.

As áreas úmidas englobam desde as áreas marinhas e
costeiras até as continentais e as artificiais, como lagos,
manguezais, pântanos e áreas irrigadas para agricultura e
reservatórios de hidrelétricas. Ao todo, são classificados 42
diferentes tipos de zonas úmidas, que existem em todos os tipos de
ecossistemas e são importantes para a manutenção da
biodiversidade. Situadas em uma interface entre a água e o solo, as
áreas úmidas são pressionadas não somente pela ação direta do
homem, mas também pelos impactos sobre ecossistemas terrestres,
marinhos e de água doce adjacentes.
