2 What is CCI conserving? Not Cambridge!
3 Conserving Biological Diversity Biodiversity Ecosystems Habitats Natural capital Nature Wildlife for the survival of all life of Earth

5 Why conserve? providing vital products Foods Fuel and fibre Medicines
6 Why conserve? regulating natural processes and products Clean air Pure water Climate regulation
7 Why conserve? Supporting services e.g. nutrient cycling, pollination
8 Why conserve? Nonmaterial benefits Aesthetics, cultural values, intellectual stimulation
9 Biological diversity provides ecosystem services from MEA
10 Problem: extinction rates 100 to 1000 times higher than natural rates (IUCN)
11 Problem: 60% of global ecosystem services used unsustainably (MEA)
12 Problem: we are living unsustainably In the last 50 years... Forests: 30% lost Commercial Fisheries: 90% lost Topsoil: 20% lost
13 Why is this happening? Biological diversity values not understood People do not know solutions Major disconnect between what IS known and what IS done Failure to link research, policy and practice
