Ecological and Biodiversity Services
Humans have affected our planet in many ways. In the past few centuries the changes in society and the increasing pace of development mean that the scale of these impacts has catastrophically grown. There are now many threats to the natural resources of our planet. These include habitat loss and degradation, invasive aliens, over-exploitation of resources, and even climate change.
The origins of conservation were rooted in a general concern to protect nature because of its intrinsic and aesthetic values. However, although this is still important, in recent decades it has become apparent that we must conserve the natural world for reasons of enlightened self interest and for the continued survival and well-being of man-kind. It has been estimated that the benefits of conserving nature outweigh the costs by 100:1.
