Abstract

Abstract Since its creation in 1960, the São Paulo State Research Foundation (FAPESP) has been supporting biodiversity research; however, in the early years, this large umbrella was still divided into botany, ecology, and zoology. This support became more effective by the establishment of the Research Program on Characterization, Conservation, and Sustainable Use of the Biodiversity of São Paulo State, better known as the BIOTA/FAPESP Program, in 1999. The program adopted the definition of biodiversity of the Convention on Biological Diversity and focused on 4 priorities: a) advancing scientific knowledge about Brazilian biodiversity; b) training high-level personnel (master’s degrees, PhDs and postdocs) to carry out biodiversity research; c) transferring the advancement of knowledge to improve public policies on biodiversity conservation and restoration; and d) transferring private sector knowledge to economically explore the potential of Brazilian biodiversity by using it sustainably. This paper summarizes the major achievements of the BIOTA/FAPESP Program, now entering its third decade of existence.

促进生物多样性研究的最新进展:FAPESP在过去60年的作用

自1960年成立以来，圣保罗州研究基金会(FAPESP)一直支持生物多样性研究;然而，在早期，这个大伞仍然分为植物学、生态学和动物学。1999年建立了圣保罗州生物多样性特征、保护和可持续利用研究计划，即BIOTA/FAPESP计划，这种支持变得更加有效。该项目采纳了《生物多样性公约》对生物多样性的定义，重点关注4个方面:a)推进巴西生物多样性的科学知识;b)培养从事生物多样性研究的高层次人才(硕士、博士、博士后);C)转移知识进步以改善生物多样性保护和恢复的公共政策;(d)转移私营部门知识，通过可持续利用，经济地探索巴西生物多样性的潜力。本文总结了BIOTA/FAPESP项目的主要成果，该项目已进入其存在的第三个十年。
