Human-caused threats to biodiversity, like habitat degradation and overfishing, require people-centered solutions that meet the needs of local communities. To protect biodiversity, and the prosperity of communities worldwide that depend on it, society must shift to more responsible and sustainable practices that balance conservation and human use. These changes must be attractive, accessible, and financially feasible for them to scale.
