”Ipbes found that all businesses, even those seemingly far-removed from it, rely on the services nature provides for free, from clean water to fertile soils.”

Beyond Control: Short-Term Legacy Effects of Invasive Nonnative Trees May Halt Biodiversity Recovery

From colleagues in Chile, showing that just removing Pinus contorta from invaded ecosystems does not lead to recovery of the ecosystem.

La Evaluación de Empresas y Biodiversidad analiza cómo las actividades económicas dependen de la biodiversidad y las contribuciones de la naturaleza a las personas y cómo las afectan. 🌍

¿Qué aspecto te genera más curiosidad? 👀

🏡🧪#BizBiodiversity: ipbes.canto.de/b/OIRVV
Imagen promocional del Informe de Evaluación de las Empresas y la Biodiversidad, con múltiples fotografías. La imagen principal muestra a dos ciclistas en una pasarela de madera contemplando Half Dome en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite, con imponentes acantilados de granito y un bosque siempreverde al fondo. Debajo del título y el texto, sobre un fondo verde azulado, se encuentra una franja con cinco fotos más pequeñas que muestran: textiles coloridos en un mercado, una copa de los árboles, una vista aérea de tierras agrícolas y la vida silvestre en un entorno de sabana. El texto anuncia el "IEvaluación de las Empresas y la Biodiversidad" y detalla una evaluación metodológica sobre el impacto de las empresas en la biodiversidad y las contribuciones de la naturaleza a las personas. La información del evento indica "#IPBES12 | 3-8 DE FEBRERO DE 2026 | MÁNCHESTER, REINO UNIDO". El documento describe su propósito de fortalecer la base de conocimientos para que las empresas alcancen los objetivos de la Visión 2050 para la Biodiversidad y el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica, centrándose en la conservación, el uso sostenible y la distribución equitativa de los recursos genéticos.

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.

Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.

Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

ICYMI: an international team has developed a new framework for understanding sustainable development. Instead of separating nature, society and economy, David Obura and co. propose a model that positions nature as the foundation.
Scientists call for 'systems reset' to redefine sustainable development
A new international study calls for a fundamental reset in how humanity understands and pursues sustainable development. The article is published in the journal Communications Sustainability.

“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.”

IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.

— @davidobura.bsky.social , @ipbes.net Chair
Split-screen image on a deep green background. Left side contains a statement from Dr David Obura, IPBES Chair, regarding the US withdrawal from IPBES and extinction threats to over 1 million species. Right side shows a photograph of a man wearing glasses, dressed in a dark jacket and grey shirt, seated at a conference table with a microphone. The IPBES logo appears at the bottom with the tagline "Science and Policy for People and Nature". The design features white typography on the dark green background, creating a professional contrast. Several small pins or badges are visible on the speaker's jacket.

Desde el año 1500, se han perdido al menos 680 especies de vertebrados, como la tortuga gigante de Pinta.🐢

La tasa global de extinción de especies es de 10 a 100 veces superior al promedio histórico, y se está acelerando debido a la acción humana.

La conservación es vital para la naturaleza. 🌱
