Current rates of habitat and biodiversity loss, the threat they pose to ecological economic productivity, would be considered a global emergency even if were not occurring during period rapid anthropogenic climate change. Diversity at all levels biological organization, both within among species, across genomes communities, is critical for resilience world’s ecosystems in face such However, it remains an urgent scientific challenge understand how underpins these outputs, patterns are being affected by current threats, where contributes most directly human economies, well-being social justice. In addition, with understanding, there pressing need societies incorporate protection into their economies governance, stop subsidizing loss humanity’s future prosperity short-term private benefit. We highlight key issues ways forward areas, inspired research career Dame Georgina Mace FRS, our discussions Royal Society meeting June 2023.
