, 2021 Since the beginning of the 20th Century, a complex web of national, regional and international regulatory instruments has developed to handle environmental degradation, so that it can be further used by humans today or in the future, not because Nature deserves, per se, not to be destroyed.

Biodiversity and Geography [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 Abstract We combine a new economic geography model of agglomeration and dispersion of economic activity with an ecological–economic model of species diversity to examine optimal policies of biodiversity conservation in a two-region world. Species diversity is inevitably impaired by anthropogenic impact.

Return to 1616: Multispecies Fauna Reconstruction Requires Thinking Outside the Box
Animals, 2023 Conservation translocations have become increasingly popular for ‘rewilding’ areas that have lost their native fauna. These multispecies translocations are complex and need to consider the requirements of each individual species as well as the influence ...

A biodiversity-employment framework to protect biodiversity [PDF]
Ecological Economics, 2022 Abstract Protecting biodiversity matters for the sustainability transition, but nothing yet seems to be able to halt the rate of biodiversity loss. The promotion of green jobs fuels questionable ideas, among which that there are green vs non-green jobs, and that the latter can be progressively replaced by green jobs.

Biodiversity loss underlies the dilution effect of biodiversity [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2020 AbstractThe dilution effect predicts increasing biodiversity to reduce the risk of infection, but the generality of this effect remains unresolved. Because biodiversity loss generates predictable changes in host community competence, we hypothesized that biodiversity loss might drive the dilution effect.

In defence of biodiversity [PDF]
Biology & Philosophy, 2017 The concept of biodiversity has played a central role within conservation biology over the last thirty years. Precisely how it should be understood, however, is a matter of ongoing debate. In this paper we defend what we call a classic multidimensional conception of biodiversity.

Impacts of biodiversity and biodiversity loss on zoonotic diseases [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases of humans caused by pathogens that are shared between humans and other vertebrate animals. Previously, pristine natural areas with high biodiversity were seen as likely sources of new zoonotic pathogens, suggesting that biodiversity could have negative impacts on human health. At the same time, biodiversity has
