​

 

Biodiversity provides essential services to humanity, including food, regulation of climate, and recreation, but escalating human pressures are driving a global loss of biodiversity, with dramatic consequences for our economy and well-being. International investments to halt biodiversity loss have resulted in some improvements, but have not stopped the global biodiversity crisis.
Hence, there is urgent need to identify strategies that can anticipate and prevent further biodiversity decline.

 

The goal of this project is to maximise global biodiversity conservation outcomes, quantifying the risk that global change poses to biodiversity and the associated risks for sustainable development.

What's going on:

​

- Mar '20 interview on national TV, biodiversity loss and pandemic risk (Italian)

- Feb '20 new publication on sustainable development and pandemic risk

- Jan '20 project kicks off!!
