Biodiversity Futures Key Findings: • Projections show continuing and accelerating extinctions, habitat loss, changes in distribution and abundance of biodiversity • High risk of dramatic biodiversity loss and degradation of services from tipping points •Loss preventable and even reversible with strong, urgent action
Biodiversity Futures What is a tipping point? Threshold Time lag Self-perpetuating Long lasting/hard to reverse
Strategic Goals A. Address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss by mainstreaming biodiversity across government and society B. Reduce the direct pressures on biodiversity and promote sustainable use C. Improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems, species and genetic diversity D. Enhance the benefits to all from biodiversity and ecosystem services E. Enhance implementation through participatory planning, knowledge management and capacity building

A UN Decade for Biodiversity Greater range of options than previously recognized Inaction is more expensive in the long run than investing in action now The action taken over the next decade or two will determine whether the relatively stable environmental conditions on which human civilization has depended for the past 10,000 years will continue beyond this century. If we fail to use this opportunity, many ecosystems on the planet will move into new, unprecedented states in which the capacity to provide for the needs of present and future generations is highly uncertain.
