The need to protect biodiversity and regenerate nature

Following up on my recent blog about “Is biodiversity the next big thing investors will demand?“, here’s a note from Jennifer Wilkins:

Is climate change the wrong problem? If governments and businesses prioritised, not the climate, but protection of biodiversity and regeneration of nature, according to scientifically and ethically established thresholds for extraction and degradation, aligned with local and global biocapacities and with respect to traditional biocentric worldviews, and allocated these limits to local businesses based on how well their products meet actual needs, then businesses would be producing responsibly, our renewable energy systems could meet our needs, our infrastructures would involve more biomimicry bringing us closer to nature and improving our mental and physical resilience, and we could resolve nature and climate issues simultaneously.
