Biodiversity Loss Threatens Human Well-Being
T he diversity of life on Earth is dramatically affected by human alterations of ecosystems [1]. Compelling evidence now shows that the reverse is also true: biodiversity in the broad sense affects the properties of ecosystems and, therefore, the benefi ts that humans obtain from them.

The Earth's ecosystems have been altered by anthropogenic processes, including land use, harvesting populations, species introductions and climate change. These anthropogenic processes greatly alter plant and animal communities, thereby changing transmission of the zoonotic pathogens they carry. Biodiversity conservation may be a potential win-win strategy for maintaining ecosystem health and p...
متن کاملWell-Being With Soul: Science in Pursuit of Human Potential.
This essay examines core contributions of a model of psychological well-being that has had widespread scientific impact. It drew on distant formulations to identify new dimensions and measures for assessing what it means to be well. Key themes among the more than 750 studies using the model are sketched, followed by reflections about why there has been so much interest in this eudaimonic approa...

In the same way that long-term financial health is stabilized by a diversified portfolio, ecosystem health and resilience are often enhanced by biodiversity (Schindler et al. 2010). These benefits suggest that managing systems to maintain marine biodiversity may provide a way to resolve otherwise conflicting objectives resulting...
