Abstract: |
Conservation International (CI) is a global conservation organization with a twist. Uniquely, the organization is committed to predicting, measuring, and holding itself accountable for the benefits to human well-being-across a wide range of dimensions-of all the biodiversity conservation work that it conducts or supports. The rationale is that although biodiversity conservation as a human enterprise is successfully making small-scale gains in a number of places, the aggregate global trend remains negative because most of human society does not realize why preventing biodiversity loss is so important to themselves, their families, and their nations; to future generations; and to the global eradication of poverty. |
