Biotic interactions, community assembly, and eco-evolutionary dynamics as drivers of long-term biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2019
The functioning and service provisioning of ecosystems in the face of anthropogenic environmental and biodiversity change is a cornerstone of ecological research.

Moving from biodiversity offsets to a target‐based approach for ecological compensation

Conservation Letters, 2020
Loss of habitats or ecosystems arising from development projects (e.g., infrastructure, resource extraction, urban expansion) are frequently addressed through biodiversity offsetting. As currently implemented, offsetting typically requires an outcome of “

A Survey of the Role of Environmental Education in Biodiversity Conservation in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana

Conservation, 2022
Biodiversity in all its forms has come under threat. The rate of biodiversity loss has attracted global attention, and most governments are trying to put measures into place to reduce the rate of loss.

Ecosystems and People, 2022
Even if there is an increasing public awareness of biodiversity loss, there still is the need to improve individuals’ behaviours in favour of biodiversity conservation, such as composting or buying pollinator-friendly plants.

Environmental liability litigation could remedy biodiversity loss

Conservation Letters, 2021
Many countries allow lawsuits to hold responsible parties liable for the environmental harm they cause. Such litigation remains largely untested in most biodiversity hotspots and is rarely used in response to leading drivers of biodiversity loss ...

The overlooked biodiversity loss [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution
As most life-forms exist as holobionts, reduction of host-level biodiversity drives parallel habitat losses to their host-adapted microorganisms. The holobiont concept helps us to understand how species are habitats for - often ignored - coevolved microorganisms also worthy of conservation.

Economic inequality predicts biodiversity loss.

PLoS ONE, 2007
Human activity is causing high rates of biodiversity loss. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the extent to which socioeconomic factors exacerbate or ameliorate our impacts on biological diversity.

Legally binding and ambitious biodiversity protection under the CBD, the global biodiversity framework, and human rights law

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2023
Beyond climate change, the planet faces several other environmental challenges that are at least as threatening, such as the loss of biodiversity. In each case, the problems are driven by similar factors, such as fossil fuels and intensive livestock ...

No net loss for people and biodiversity [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2018
Abstract Governments, businesses, and lenders worldwide are adopting an objective of no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity that is often partly achieved through biodiversity offsetting within a hierarchy of mitigation actions. Offsets aim to balance residual losses of biodiversity caused by development in one location with commensurate ...
