Solutions to the biodiversity challenge 1: Valuation - making the
business case for investment
Biodiversity and ecosystem
services are not adequately
protected and maintained
Insufficient funding for
biodiversity conservation
and management
measures, both nationally
and globally
Severe impact of proximate
drivers of biodiversity loss
(habitat loss, overexploitation,
IAS, pollution,
climate change)
Biodiversity is not valued by and
integrated into national and sectoral
planning and measures (ultimate
drivers), and governance mechanisms
are weak
Comprehensive quantitative information on the values of
biodiversity and ecosystem services, especially the economic value,
is missing or incomplete

at national level to increase and
disseminate the knowledge base on the
economic value of biodiversity and
ecosystem services
