Question

What steps can be taken to conserve biodiversity

Answer 1

Biodiversity loss is driven by local, regional, and global factors, so responses are also needed at all scales.Responses need to acknowledge multiple stakeholders with different needs.Given certain conditions, many effective responses are available to address the issues identified.Responses designed to address biodiversity loss will not be sustainable or sufficient unless relevant direct andindirect drivers of change are addressed.Further progress in reducing biodiversity loss will come through greater coherence and synergies among sectoral responses and through more systematic consideration of trade-offs among ecosystem services or between biodiversity conser­vation and other needs of society.
