Biodiversity & Nature
Nature is location-specific.
Examining dependencies, impacts and risks through ecological context, spatial evidence and place-based assessment.
What this field means
Nature is location-specific.
Nature-related questions depend on the ecosystems and communities around an activity. Biodiversity assessment therefore needs location, scale and ecological context rather than broad averages alone.
