The cost of ignoring the biodiversity crisis: Research highlights ‘invisible’ wildlife benefits that people could lose

The cost of ignoring the biodiversity crisis: Research highlights ‘invisible’ wildlife benefits that people could lose

New WWF-led research reveals that the vital benefits wildlife provides to people’s everyday lives are vastly underrepresented across science and policy discussions. This oversight could have detrimental consequences for achieving global conservation targets, explain the researchers. New WWF-led research reveals that the vital benefits wildlife provides to people’s everyday lives are vastly underrepresented across science and…
