Abstract

The article discusses the importance of integrating biodiversity into climate change mitigation efforts. It highlights six key points where biodiversity can improve climate change mitigation, including the conservation of carbon stocks and sinks, biodiverse restoration, integrated conservation of local fauna and flora, using existing areas of agriculture and silviculture, incorporating biodiversity into business models, and holding joint biodiversity-climate conferences. The article emphasizes the need for a more integrated approach to address the climate and biodiversity crises and calls for urgent action to protect and restore ecosystems.
