The authors argue that while attempts to emulate climate science and governance are understandable, for biodiversity this is not a good idea. A narrow focus on biodiversity as species and biodiversity loss as species extinction may be easy to communicate and attractive for policy makers, NGOs or media to signal the urgency of the biodiversity crisis, but it is seriously limited in its ability to reflect diverse values and worldviews and catalyse the effective action that is needed to ensure the wellbeing of people and nature.
