Biodiversity Collage
Discover why every species matters
How It Works
Using the collaborative Fresk methodology, participants work in teams to build a visual representation of biodiversity, its importance, and the pressures threatening it. The workshop covers the fundamentals of ecosystem health, the drivers of species loss, and the critical ecosystem services that biodiversity provides. Teams then explore solutions and commitments for protecting nature.
What You'll Learn
- What biodiversity is and why it matters for human wellbeing
- The five major drivers of biodiversity loss
- How ecosystem services underpin our economies and societies
- The connections between biodiversity loss and climate change
- Actions individuals and organizations can take to protect biodiversity
The Biodiversity Collage addresses what scientists call the ‘silent crisis’ — the rapid loss of species and ecosystems that threatens the foundations of our food systems, economies, and wellbeing.
Why Biodiversity?
Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. While climate change captures headlines, the decline of ecosystems and species is equally existential. Healthy ecosystems purify our water, pollinate our crops, regulate our climate, and provide countless other services we depend on daily.
The Experience
Participants discover the intricate web of life that sustains our planet and explore the five major drivers of biodiversity loss: habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. The workshop creates understanding of why biodiversity matters not just for nature, but for business, food security, and human health.
For Organizations
With frameworks like the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) gaining momentum, understanding nature-related risks and dependencies is becoming a business imperative. The Biodiversity Collage gives teams the foundational knowledge to engage meaningfully with nature strategies and reporting.
