Nature loss directly threatens half the global economy. The rapid destruction of biodiversity should alarm the many Australian businesses dependent on nature, such as those in agriculture, tourism, construction and food manufacturing. Yet nature considerations are often ignored in business decision-making.

1 INTRODUCTION Despite the substantial effort and investment into the conservation of species and ecosystems, biodiversity loss is accelerating (C. N. Johnson et al., 2017). The list of threatened species keeps growing, with over a million species threatened by extinction, and many species expected to be lost within two decades (Díaz et al., 2019; WWF 2020).

Earth is facing a human-driven climate crisis, which demands a rapid transition to low-carbon energy sources such as wind and solar power. But we're also living through a mass extinction event. Never before in human history have there been such high such rates of species loss and ecosystem collapse. The biodiversity crisis is not just distressing, it's a major threat to the global economy. More than half of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) directly depends on nature.

The government has great aspirations. It has committed to end extinctions and expand our protected areas to cover 30% of every Australian ecosystem by 2030. This is part of its Nature Positive Plan, aligned with the 2022 Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity pact. The goal is not just to conserve nature but to restore what is being lost.
