Reversing nature loss
Pioneering new modelling shows that without further efforts to counteract habitat loss and degradation, global biodiversity will continue to decline.
Can biodiversity loss be reversed?
Cutting-edge modelling shows that the world could start to stabilize and reverse the loss of nature.
This Bending the Curve initiative shows how this could be achieved by embracing bolder, more ambitious conservation efforts as well as making transformational changes in the way we produce and consume food, such as making food production and trade more efficient, reducing waste, and favouring healthier and more sustainable diets.
But, none of these actions, alone, will be enough.
Using the tool below can you find the combination of actions that together will bend the curve of nature loss?
- 1.More conservation efforts
- 2.More sustainable production
- 3.More sustainable consumption

"In the midst of a global pandemic, it is now more important than ever to take unprecedented and coordinated global action to halt and start to reverse the loss of biodiversity and wildlife populations across the globe by the end of the decade"
Marco Lambertini, Director General, WWF International.
What can you do?
The way we live and the food we eat is driving destruction at a rate faster than nature can recover. Everyone can do something to help.

Food security
Thousands of species of plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms are used for food. A vast range of others are essential to food production – ranging from pollinators that enable crop reproduction to microorganisms that enrich soils.
