Resumen:
Biodiversity, a term now widely employed in science, policy, and wider society, has a burgeoning associated literature.We synthesize aspects of this literature, focusing on several key concepts, debates, patterns, trends, and drivers.We review the history of the term and the multiple dimensions and valuesof biodiversity, and we explore what is known and not known about globalpatterns of biodiversity. We then review changes in biodiversity from earlyhuman times to the modern era, examining rates of extinction and directdrivers of biodiversity change and also highlighting some less-well-studieddrivers. Finally, we turn attention to the indirect drivers of global biodiversity loss, notably humanitys increasing global consumption footprint, andexplore what might be required to reverse the ongoing decline in the fabricof life on Earth.
