Why Biodiversity matters - a lot

Global biodiversity loss is at the heart of the planetary emergency we all face.

According to the latest research findings, it is twice as expensive to delay action to stabilize biodiversity intactness globally, as it is to act immediately.

It is feasible to significantly reduce extinction rates of endemic species if action is immediate. Without greater action than currently implemented policies, more endemic species will go extinct in the coming 30 years than appear to have died out in the entire period 850-1850 CE. 

To reduce the current exponential rate of species extinction, we must take action now.

If action is immediate, there is an option to make a bigger reduction in extinction rates. This option would require immediate high-ambition action and is lost when action is delayed. If action is delayed, it becomes infeasible to stabilize biodiversity intactness globally even at today’s depleted level.  

There is decades-old evidence of the central importance of biodiversity for humanity's future survival - or demise.

 Solutions on how to bring biodiversity back are well known. Studies from across Europe show that if a minimum of 10%-14% of agricultural land were to be nonproductive, birds and other wildlife, would recover. Studies also show a particular value of well-managed fallow land for biodiversity. 

This concern is so much at the heart of what we do, that the company's name just had to be related.
