Businesses therefore have the potential to make a substantial contribution to arresting declines in biodiversity and ecosystem services. To realize this potential, businesses require support from researchers in applied ecology to inform how they measure and manage their impacts on, and opportunities presented to them by, biodiversity and ecosystem services.enapplied ecologybiodiversitybusinesscorporate social responsibilityecosystem functionecosystem servicesinsuranceknowledge exchangemanufacturingminingArticle
