and technical support needed to help set up a global biodiversity monitoring system. You are very welcome to join, as is anyone else passionate about solving this problem. The solution has to involve networking developed and developing nations and building
capacity and tools to support collaboration and cooperation. During SBSTTA the last two days every nation requested technical support for the data-to-indicator workflow (the post 2020 framework involves too many indicators). There will likely be an international
organization established with a mandate to do support global monitoring this post COP15. I put language to this effect in a recent document from RSC/NAS to the G7</span></div>

Dear Mary and all,<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for your hard work to finalize this manuscript. I really appreciate it. And I really like the paper, especially how you nicely describe feedback from the basic concepts (density-dependence and population growth) to the B-F-H feedback in the
pluralistic context. I have just minor suggestions.<br>
<br>
1. I would suggest removing Figure 1B. It is complicated and readers need to visit the original review. However, it is already outdated, as the concept was changed from benefits to contributions. More importantly, I just like Figure 1A and 1C, which nicely
convey how feedback occurs at multiple scales (and possibly, bidirectionally). Removing Figure 1B helps further highlight them.<br>
<br>
2. In Box 1. I agree with Laura. We need descriptions for both ES and NCP. It could be better to cite this paper. <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26395916.2019.1669713" style="font-size:11pt; color:rgb(5,99,193)">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26395916.2019.1669713</a> <span style="font-size:11pt"> ("We
find a mixed-picture, where on six specific conceptual claims (culture, social sciences and humanities, indigenous and local knowledge, negative contributions of nature, generalizing perspective, non-instrumental values and valuation) NCP does not differ greatly
from past ES research, but we also find five conceptual claims (diverse worldviews, context-specific perspective, relational values, fuzzy and fluid reporting categories and groups, inclusive language and framing) where NCP provides novel conceptualizations
of people and nature relations.")</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm; line-height:normal; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
<br>
3. I really like the sentence in L430-432. I am just wondering how this (breaking the historical pattern...) can be realized. In a recent Science Policy Forum by Soil BON (<a href="http://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6526/239" style="font-size:11pt; color:rgb(5,99,193)">http://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6526/239</a><span style="font-size:11pt">),
I found a similar sentence ("Such a global initiative will not be possible without a wide network of local partners ... This includes providing support to colleagues working in developing countries and establishing a centralized global analysis network across
different volunteering institutions..."). Then I hoped to find more concrete suggestions to realize this (e.g., financial and technical support from developed to developing nations) in their supplementary material, but found no concrete suggestions and solutions.
So, it could be better to be a bit specific here¡</span></p>

Thank you for citing the GScience statement. Although G7 was cancelled in 2020, the statement is still important to connect science and policy.<br>
