    "content": "This is not true and is not a good definition. I know what “biodiversity” and “fragile ecosystem” mean. So, this definition is obviously wrong. We must re-define what we mean by “fragile ecosystem.” A fragile ecosystem must not necessarily have threatened species or biodiversity. Most of our arid areas are defined as fragile ecosystems because if you practice certain land uses, you destroy the ecological integrity of the areas. For example, if you start doing extensive farming in those areas, the way we have gone to Galana, in the long-run, we are going to run into major ecological problems. The first ecological problem that we are going to run into is salinity. The soils are going to become saline and, therefore, there will be no growth of vegetation. Eventually, it becomes a desert. Definitions are very important."
