Global biodiversity change is one of the most pressing environmental issues our time. Here, we review current scientific knowledge on global and identify main gaps. We discuss two components change—biodiversity alterations loss—across four dimensions biodiversity: species extinctions, abundances, distributions, genetic diversity. briefly impacts that modern humans their ancestors have had recent declines in biodiversity. analyze direct pressures change: habitat change, overexploitation,...
For millennia, mankind has shaped landscapes, particularly through agriculture. In Europe, the age-old interaction between humans and ecosystems strongly influenced cultural heritage. Yet European farmland is now being abandoned, especially in remote areas. The loss of traditional agricultural landscapes its consequences for biodiversity ecosystem services generating concerns both scientific community public. Here we ask to what extent abandonment can be considered as an opportunity...
Spatial structure of species change Biodiversity is undergoing rapid driven by climate and other human influences. Blowes et al. analyze the global patterns in temporal biodiversity using a large quantity time-series data from different regions (see Perspective Eriksson Hillebrand). Their findings reveal clear spatial richness composition change, where marine taxa exhibit highest rates change. The tropics, particular, emerge as hotspots losses. Given that activities are affecting magnitudes...
A monitoring and indicator system can inform policy
Measurements of the status and trends key indicators for ocean marine life are required to inform policy management in context growing human uses resources, coastal development, climate change. Two synergistic efforts identify specific priority variables monitoring: Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) through Global Observing System (GOOS), Biodiversity (EBVs) from Group on Earth Observations Observation Network (GEO BON). Both systems support reporting against internationally agreed...
Abstract Climate change and other anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity are unequally distributed across the world. Overlap in distributions different have important implications for attribution potential interactive effects. However, spatial relationships among whether they differ between terrestrial marine realm has yet to be examined. We compiled global gridded datasets on climate change, land‐use, resource exploitation, pollution, alien species human population density. used multivariate...
The ability to monitor changes in biodiversity, and their societal impact, is critical conserving species managing ecosystems. While emerging technologies increase the breadth reach of data acquisition, monitoring efforts are still spatially temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased. Appropriate long-term information remains therefore limited. Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) aims provide a general framework for biodiversity support decision-makers....
There has been much recent interest in the concept of rewilding as a tool for nature conservation, but also confusion over idea, which limited its utility. We developed unifying definition and 10 guiding principles through survey 59 experts, summary key organizations' visions, workshops involving 100 participants from around world. The convey that exits on continuum scale, connectivity, level human influence aims to restore ecosystem structure functions achieve self-sustaining autonomous...
Genetic diversity among and within populations of all species is necessary for people nature to survive thrive in a changing world. Over the past three years, commitments conserving genetic have become more ambitious specific under Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) draft post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF). This Perspective article comments how goals targets GBF evolved, improvements that are still needed, lessons learned from this process, connections between actions...
Abstract Aim The geographical range size of species is a strong predictor vulnerability to global extinction. However, it remains unclear whether also good extinction risk at much smaller scales. Here, we reconstruct biodiversity time series ask with small ranges have declined preferentially habitat loss the local scale. Location Global. Time period 1500–2015. Major taxa studied Vascular plants. Method We collated 70 million occurrence records 180,000 vascular plants from three data‐sharing...
Abstract Farmland abandonment takes place across the world due to socio‐economic and ecological drivers. In Europe agricultural environmental policies aim prevent halt succession. Ecological rewilding has been recently proposed as an alternative strategy. We developed a framework assess opportunities for different dimensions of wilderness in Europe. mapped artificial light, human accessibility based on transport infrastructure, proportion harvested primary productivity (i.e., ecosystem...
Abstract Although it is generally recognized that global biodiversity declining, few studies have examined long‐term changes in multiple dimensions simultaneously. In this study, we quantified and compared temporal the abundance, taxonomic diversity, functional phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages, using roadside monitoring data North American Breeding Bird Survey from 1971 to 2010. We calculated 12 abundance metrics based on 5‐year average abundances 519 species for each 768 routes....
Abstract National and local governments need to step up efforts effectively implement the post‐2020 global biodiversity framework of Convention on Biological Diversity halt reverse worsening trends. Drawing recent advances in interdisciplinary science, we propose a for improved implementation by national subnational governments. First, identification actions promotion ownership across stakeholders recognize multiple values account remote responsibility. Second, cross‐sectorial mainstreaming...
Abstract Rewilding has emerged as an audacious conservation approach aiming at restoring wild species interactions and their regulation of ecosystem processes by focusing on the key role that have been extensively extirpated humans. gained increasing attention from scientists, conservationists mass‐media. Yet, it raised highly divergent perspectives to which ecological assemblages should be restored. Here we argue a pragmatic immediate rewilding unequivocally focused preserving structural...
