Connecting
for Biodiversity

There is growing recognition that even the full implementation of current conservation and restoration efforts is not enough to reverse the alarming trend of biodiversity loss. Alongside this, the urgent need to halt the ongoing destruction and exploitation of nature has never been clearer. What we need is a transformative change. This is defined as the “fundamental, system-wide reorganisation across technological, economic, and social factors, including paradigms, goals and values” (IPBES 2019).

The BioTraCes project is designed to spark this transformative change by adopting an action research approach. This approach empowers initiatives to address the root causes of biodiversity loss.  What is more, it promotes equity and justice for both people and the planet.
