Andrew Balmford,Aaron Bruner,Philip Cooper,Robert Costanza,Stephen Farber,Rhys E. Green,Rhys E. Green,Martin Jenkins,Paul Jefferiss,Valma Jessamy,Joah R. Madden,Kat Munro,Norman Myers,Shahid Naeem,Jouni Paavola,Matthew Rayment,Sergio Rosendo,Joan Roughgarden,Kate Trumper,R. Kerry Turner +19 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that the overall benefit:cost ratio of an effective global program for the conservation of remaining wild nature is at least 100:1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking the ecological overshoot of the human economy
Mathis Wackernagel,Niels Schulz,Diana Deumling,Alejandro Callejas Linares,Martin Jenkins,Valerie Kapos,Chad Monfreda,Jonathan Loh,Norman Myers,Richard B. Norgaard,Jørgen Randers +10 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that human demand may well have exceeded the biosphere's regenerative capacity since the 1980s and humanity's load corresponded to 70% of the capacity of the global biosphere in 1961, and grew to 120% in 1999.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospects for biodiversity.
TL;DR: Assuming no radical transformation in human behavior, the authors can expect important changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services by 2050, including changes in marine ecosystems, temperate forests and some tropical forests, although the latter will be biotically impoverished.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Living Planet Index: using species population time series to track trends in biodiversity
Jonathan Loh,Rhys E. Green,Taylor H. Ricketts,John F. Lamoreux,Martin Jenkins,Valerie Kapos,Jørgen Randers +6 more
TL;DR: The two methods of calculating the Living Planet Index show very similar results: terrestrial species declined on average by 25% from 1970 to 2000 and it may be possible to reduce this further by post-stratification and weighting, but new information would first need to be collected for data-poor classes, realms and biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the changing state of nature
TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at other large-scale measures of the changing state of nature, focusing on recent analyses of trends in population size, numbers of populations and habitat extent.
