 \nThis is the kind of question,along with hundreds of others,which the Inter-national Biological Program seeks to answer.  \nA program of worldwide scientific cooperation reminiscent of the InternationalGeophysical Year,IBP aims to help man avoid the foolhardy,perhaps fatal mis-management of his remaining natural resources and habitat.  \nIBP grew out of discussions among officials of the International Union ofBiological Sciences and the International Council of Scientific Unions,morethan nine years ago.After several years of planning,the five-year operationalphase began on July 1,1967.Some 54 nations have now been enlisted in theprogram,which carries the title I'The Biological Basis of Productivity andHuman Welfare.\"  Its objectives:  \n\"As a consequence of the rapid rate of increase in the numbers and needs ofthe human populations of the world,and their demands on the natural environ-ment,there is an urgent need for greatly increased biological research .··with the objectives of ensuring the worldwide study of(1)organic productionon the land,in fresh waters,and in the seas,so that adequate estimates maybe made of the potential yield of new as well as existing natural resources,and,(2)human adaptability to the changing conditions.\"  \nThe United States portion of the IBP program slowly began taking shape morethan three years ago.It is sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(a member of the ICSU).To carry out planning and program development,NASestablished a U.S.National Committee,which has nine subcommittees devotedto particular areas of research.  \nFederal government participation began in late 1965 when Dr.Donald Hornig,director of the Office of Science and Technology,asked the National ScienceFoun dation to coordinate agency activity related to IBP.NSF,in turn,setup the Interagency Coordinating Committee,whose members represent a dozenor so federal agencies.  \nThe actual research projects will be carried out by scientists from federaland state governments,universities and private organizations.  \nThe heart of the U.S.effort lies in its \"integrated research programs,\"withcoordinated studies by many scientists in different disciplines.(In addition,close to 300 individual projects of relevant but more narrow scientific focusare planned.Quite a few of these were already being un dertaken.)Here arebrief descriptions of the six integrated programs already announced by theU.S.National Committee:  \n*Analusis of ecosustems --This has been called the core of the U.S.pro-gram.It will include a thorough systems analysis of six different typesof biomes --grassland,desert,tundra,coniferous forest,deciduous forest,and tropical rain forest.  \nIn its March 11,1968 report on the IBP,the House Science,Research and Development subcommittee said this ","cbCaisULaTrni0P2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisULaTrni0P2","pdf",785968,12,"English","# The International Biological Program (IBP)\n## Purpose and urgency\n## U.S. organization and coordination\n## Integrated research programs\n### Analysis of ecosystems\n### Ecology of migrant populations\n### Aerobiology\n### Eskimo populations","[{\"question\":\"What is the International Biological Program (IBP) trying to achieve?\",\"answer\":\"IBP aims to increase biological research so that potential productivity of natural resources can be estimated and to study human adaptability to changing environmental conditions.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the program begin and how long is its operational phase?\",\"answer\":\"Planning discussions preceded the start, and the five-year operational phase began on July 1, 1967.\"},{\"question\":\"What examples of integrated research programs are highlighted in the U.S. effort?\",\"answer\":\"The report describes integrated programs including analysis of ecosystems, ecology of migrant populations, aerobiology, and studies of Eskimo populations.\"}]","The Conservation Foundation - June 24, 1968 - International Biological Program (IBP) | PDF",1789965950]
