> Keywords: feedbacks, grand challenges, biodiversity, science-policy,
> ecosystem functioning, socio-ecological systems
> 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.
