Five key ecosystem-related services, which are essential for the global economy and prosperity according to Heal (2023)

The loss of biodiversity is therefore not just an ecological crisis, but also an economic threat. Much of the damage develops gradually and is therefore difficult to measure, but it ultimately results in considerable costs for the entire worldโ€™s population.

Climate and species protection measures are mutually dependent and mutually reinforcing. The biodiversity crisis is further exacerbated by climate change and underlines the often neglected impact of global warming on biodiversity. Achieving the โ€œnet-zeroโ€ targets early and consistently will help to limit the loss of habitats and curb the spread of invasive species. At the same time, the promotion of โ€œnature positivityโ€ through reforestation and the protection of natural habitats contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions.
