Science says policy action on biodiversity is needed.

Everyone knows the benefits of clean water, fertile soil, living forests, colorful meadows and untouched landscapes. They shape our health, our homeland and Switzerland’s identity. Increasing biodiversity will benefit us in the long run and is essential for adapting to climate change. Science has long confirmed that It is in the interests of the population and the economy to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination, water purification or protection against erosion. However, largely scientifically supported analyses reveal that the state and development of biodiversity in Switzerland remains worrying. Despite some improvement at the local level, the overall situation continues to deteriorate and is much more worrying than in neighbouring countries. The attack on biodiversity generates huge costs for society.
