Biodiversity is collapsing worldwide. The extent of the loss and its consequences
are not well understood while solutions are only beginning to be developed.
Existing interventions are not enough to combat the accelerating decline in biodiversity and have served only to slow it down, somewhat. We are developing economic approaches to managing eco-systems, defining biodiversity economic value and, restoring and protecting landscapes with and for the people in them.
Ideas that matter
Biodiversity regulation
Regulation of farming, trade and finance to protect ecosystems is starting to gain momentum. The European Union's Deforestation Regulation is a decisive move to protect forests through commodity trade controls. Commodity trade patterns, prices and human rights will all be affected by biodiversity protection. Our research paper considers the risks and paths to successful implementation.
