Resumen:
Maintaining biodiversity is crucial for ensuring human well-being. The authors participated in aworkshop held in Palenque, Mexico, in August 2018, that brought together 30 mostly early-careerscientists working in different disciplines (natural, social and economic sciences) with the aimof identifying research priorities for studying the contributions of biodiversity to people and howthese contributions might be impacted by environmental change. Five main groups of questionsemerged: (1) Enhancing the quantity, quality, and availability of biodiversity data; (2) Integratingdifferent knowledge systems; (3) Improved methods for integrating diverse data; (4) Fundamentalquestions in ecology and evolution; and (5) Multi-level governance across boundaries. We discussthe need for increased capacity building and investment in research programmes to address thesechallenges.
