4PLANET IMPACT / ISSUE

Biodiversity loss

Declines in species, populations and genetic diversity weaken living systems and the ecological relationships they depend on.

Why it matters

Biodiversity loss reduces the variety and resilience of life, but the scale, drivers and consequences differ by species and place.

What the sources establish

Biodiversity loss includes declines in species, populations and genetic diversity, with pressures and consequences varying across ecosystems and places.
