Nature loss directly threatens half the global economy. The rapid destruction of biodiversity should alarm the many Australian businesses dependent on nature, such as those in agriculture, tourism, construction and food manufacturing.

Getting more businesses interested in – and taking positive action on – nature conservation is key to the talks.
