Towards a unifying theory of conservation in production systems

Le résumé fourni par la source

Reducing the biodiversity impacts of production systems like agriculture, fisheries, and forestry is among humanity's most urgent challenges. Efforts typically focus on: (1) decreasing the area used for production; (2) reducing the direct impacts of production on biodiversity; or (3) lowering the demand for production. While such actions appear useful in isolation, neglecting to account for how elements of production systems interact with one another can see actions pursued that may risk biodiversity loss. Accordingly, we develop a generalised framework highlighting these interactions and their ubiquity across production contexts, and illustrate how it can be used to identify actions that can deliver overall benefits for biodiversity.
