🌿 Can businesses survive without nature? The NEW @ipbes.net #BizBiodiversity report says no. Companies depend on biodiversity, yet many degrade it. Shifting to nature-positive practices is essential.

Different knowledge communities offer credible methodologies that can be applied across diverse business contexts, each contributing distinct approaches for addressing impacts and dependencies.
As Prof. Rueda, Co-Chair of IPBES #BizBiodiversity Assessment, notes, they are all valuable.

🎥 Throwback!
On 24 Sept, BIOTraCes joined BIONEXT for a webinar on making biodiversity governance more just, inclusive & effective.
Dr. Luciane Lucas dos Santos shared insights on justice & intersectionality in policy. 🌿
🎬Watch the full session👇
“Living as nature” is what we explored at the Cooplink Day with Koen de Kruif (GEN-NL), Ad Vlems (Ecodorp Boekel) & Zoë van Eldik (BIOTraCes).
From ecovillages as nature areas to a new idea: the zooperation — where humans & more-than-humans share power.
📸 Koen & Ad getting into character!
In our recent BIOTraCes meeting, we explored findings from the case studies and started shaping our theory of transformative change, the foundation for our upcoming Handbook (spoiler alert 👀).
A first draft is on the table — more to come soon! 🌿

In Europe, biodiversity data sends a clear message:
🌳 81% of habitats & 63% of species are in poor condition
🐝 Pollinators down by up to 30%
🌾 60% of soils show degradation
At #BIOTraCes, we turn numbers into action for nature. 💚

More substantial efforts to halt and reverse #BiodiversityLoss are urgently needed.
In this, bottom-up actors have a critical role: meaningful change cannot be forced top-down by public authorities.
