Researchers from over a dozen institutions worldwide have come together to call on the global community to acknowledge the biodiversity leak’ They argue efforts to preserve or rewild natural habitats are shifting harmful land use to other parts of the world.

They argue that rewilding productive farmland or forestry in industrialised nations that have low levels of biodiversity may do more harm than good on a planetary scale.

At its worst, we could see some conservation actions cause net global harm by displacing production to regions which are much more significant for biodiversity’.
