Halting and reversing the global decline in biodiversity is now urgent to avoid destabilizing the Earth’s vital systems that support human well-being, according to a Frontiers in Science lead article.
Hear from the article authors— Harvey Locke , Prof Johan Rockström , Prof Raina Plowright , and Robyn Seetal —as they examine how human-driven ecosystem disruption is increasing risks to human health, from the spread of infectious diseases to negative impacts on mental health. They call for an urgent global paradigm shift that moves beyond current sustainability frameworks and prioritizes protecting intact ecosystems across land, freshwater, and ocean by 2030.
Join the authors at our Frontiers in Science Deep Dive webinar on 28 May 2026 , 16:00–17:30 CEST , as they discuss how a Nature Positive framework can guide actions across all landscapes by integrating Indigenous knowledge, finance, governance, and the Three Conditions Framework to deliver effective, equitable outcomes for people and nature.
