A new report released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) is a call to action for policymakers worldwide seeking to develop sustainable and equitable solutions to our most urgent global challenges.

A new action plan to halt biodiversity loss needs scientific specialists to work with those who study how governments function...The GBF is a comprehensive plan. But success will require systemic change across public policy. That is both a strength and a weakness.

The history of life on Earth has been marked five times by events of mass biodiversity extinction caused by extreme natural phenomena. Today, many experts warn that a Sixth Mass Extinction crisis is underway, this time entirely caused by human activities.

Predator species may buffer the negative impacts of climate change by mitigating against the loss of biodiversity, according to new research led by scientists in Trinity College Dublin and Hokkaido University.

We are facing global biodiversity and climate crises. It is estimated that one million species are threatened with extinction, with the drivers of biodiversity loss due to the direct or indirect results of unsustainable human action.

More investment and support for research into emerging genomic tools for conservation is needed to prevent further biodiversity loss, according to a new paper published in Conversation Genetics.

Crop and livestock production are among the main drivers of biodiversity loss globally. Due to the ever-increasing demand of land for food production, reverting global biodiversity decline and feeding the world is one of the greatest challenges of our time.

The benefits of sustainably managed wild fisheries, which support food and nutritional security, livelihoods, and cultures, are being undermined by government payments that incentivise overcapacity and lead to overfishing, biodiversity degradation and loss, and CO2 emissions, the scientists argue
