Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – First-of-its-kind study shows conservation actions work – and are effective at slowing biodiversity loss. A new comprehensive study, led by @rewild, @iucn_congress, @dice.kent, and @oxford_uni and published in @sciencemagazine, looked at the impact of a wide range of conservation interventions globally and over time. “If you look only at the trend of species declines, it would be easy to think that we’re failing to protect biodiversity, but you would not be looking at the full picture,” said Dr. Penny Langhammer, lead author of the study and executive vice president of Re:wild. “What we show with this paper is that conservation is, in fact, working to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.” The paper, which represents the first time anyone has looked at conservation actions comprehensively across the world and across different levels of biodiversity and over time, argues that there must be more investment in conservation, not only from governments, but from companies, private individuals and civil society. This must happen in addition to a move away from investments that harm the planet, like unsustainable consumption and production. Learn more about this study – link in bio.
