[Mary O'Connor]

Hello everyone,

Great news - our Grand Challenges paper is accepted! I’ll forward the proof when I have it, for your records, in the mean time here is the one is submitted with all the track changes. It’s the most current version. 

Thanks for all your thoughts and work that went into this, from the in person working groups in a previous lifetime, to the emails and feedback since then. I’m proud of this paper!! We have something important to say here. 

Best wishes,

Mary

> Abstract: Feedbacks are an essential feature of resilient socio-economic systems, yet the feedbacks between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing are not fully accounted for in global policy efforts that consider future scenarios for human activities and their consequences for nature. Failure to integrate feedbacks in our knowledge frameworks exacerbates uncertainty in future projections and potentially prevents us from realizing the full benefits of actions we can take to enhance sustainability. We identify six scientific research challenges that, if addressed, could allow future policy, conservation and monitoring efforts to quantitatively account for ecosystem and societal consequences of biodiversity change. Placing feedbacks prominently in our frameworks would lead to i) coordinated observation of biodiversity change, ecosystem functions and human actions, ii) joint experiment and observation programs, iii) more effective use of emerging technologies in biodiversity science and policy, iv) and a more inclusive and integrated global community of biodiversity observers. To meet these challenges, we outline a 5-point action plan for collaboration and connection among scientists and policy-makers that emphasizes diversity, inclusion, and open access. Efforts to protect biodiversity require the best possible scientific understanding of human activities, biodiversity trends, ecosystem functions, and - critically - the feedbacks among them.
