Ecosystem and Human Well-Being - Biodiversity Synthesis
Description
This report synthesizes findings from the MA global and sub-global assessments on biodiversity and human wellbeing. All of the MA authors and Review Editors have contributed to this draft through their contributions to the underlying assessment chapters on which this material is based. Five additional synthesis reports were prepared for ease of use by other audiences: general overview, UNCCD (desertification), Ramsar Convention (wetlands), business, and the health sector. Each MA sub-global assessment will also produce additional reports to meet the needs of its own audience.
